The ring glider of my son's Estes Solo always made nice sweeping circles that kept it on our launch field. That is, until our last launch, when the glider flew in a straight line off to the horizon, never to be seen again.

What can I do to the replacement glider to get it to circle reliably? Asymmetric curl at the back? A little off-center weight?
