I'm not a glider guy so I am not really conversant with all the nuances of the terms. I would like some clarification if you please for the following:
boost glider
parasite glider
rocket glider
I have an idea in my own mind for the definitions but that is based on obervation an not paying a lot of attention.
boost glider: a glider with a rocket pop pod like the Semroc Swift BG
parasite glider: a rocket with little glider thingies that fall off at apogee such as the Estes Shuttle XPress
rocket glider: a glider where the motor housing stays with the glider for the entire ride like the Squirrel Words Red Baron
Are these accurate conceptions?
