The launch of my Eagle Glider. I did my best to film the glider as it flew[video=youtube;b7tpvcj-EcM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7tpvcj-EcM&list=UUrIbAHNJrEvNDTJA6npjHrg[/video]
 
I had one of those. Got another kit because the first one had some problems. I had it balanced about perfect so it took off on a straight line and landed about 1/4 mile away. I got the tail set so it would circle and then it started at 200 ft and circled and circled and circled until it landed 75 ft up in a tree that was 700 to 800 ft away from the launch pad.

Bottom line, don't balance them too well. You want it to point down a little instead flying flat and never coming down.
 
Well, they do say that eagles can soar and they do land in trees :)
 
Guess I have my work cut out for me to balance it better LOL. It will happen sooner or later
