Here's one I designed and built in 2009 as a pusher electric and a rocket glider in 6mm depron, I re-built one this weekend in 9mm depron at the cost of some weight, but increased stiffness, flies really nicely. 41" long, 25" wingspan, 15 oz rtf using E-6 or E-12 Aerotech motors.

Very nice as always. I like the way it really looks like a V2 when you see it side-on in flight.

Ever try a V1? I don't know if it's a glide-worthy design, but it's surprising to me how comparatively rarely it is modeled.
 
Yes, I did kits for a while but low interest,
