Can someone recommend a good flying and impressive glider for me?

I used to build little rockets with streamers for the kids to fly but mostly I am a lifelong RC pilot who flies all kinds of aircraft and helicopters. I am interested in trying an RC glider. I saw a twin tailed Estes that looked pretty cool. To fly it at my RC flying field It would need to have the motor retained onboard after launch. I imagine that is the norm but I am not sure. I would like a decent sized glider with good flying characteristics and I can build from a kit or plans. Thanks!

The other option is to buy an inexpensive hand launch glider and convert it to RCRG by adding a motor pod. There are a few threads over on rcgroups.com in the rocketry forum that talk about how to do this.

I decided to go with the Delta Star Mark II and look forward to building and flying it. The video and pictures on the website do a good job of explaining it. Once I get it built I will look into how to launch it. It must be a lot heavier than a traditional rocket so I probably need a stout launch rail.
