Coder well done! On both the models!  :thumbsup:

The discus glider is very very interesting. I am working on a similar project, but mine is a tow line. Please let us have ALL the details / measurements. That is, if you are willing to disclose.

Regards.

weight: 100 gms (exact)
fuselage: 20 inch (desert cooler window strut)
wing: wingspan: 36 inch chord: 3.5 inch (no airfoil yet so dives rather quickly, thinking to put true airfoil on it)
horizontal stabilizer: 7 inch length 3 inch chord
vertical stabilizer: 4 inch upside and 3 inch downside of fuselage, 3 inch chord :)

Any plans? Even hand drawn plans will do. A close up of the fuselage will help us understand the "desert cooler strut" part.
