Got tired of recovery issues so I made a boost glider. It is a scaled down version of a design I made 25 years ago that was powered by a D-12. It was about 3 ft. long and flew very nicley. This one is 5.75 in. long. The elivons are actuated by an elastic thread that pulls up when the engine is ejected.

I've been building MMX boost gliders since the motors became available but nothing as complex and beautiful as what you've done here. BRAVO!:clap:
 
Very nice job. Have you ever build one that will glide longer before touch down?
 
That was one of the nicest looking gliders I have seen at any scale. It is certainly the nicest MMX I have seen.
