The center of gravity is back to far, it's tail heavy. it will fly better if you try to move the battery more forward and/or some of the electronics. love the idea did near the same thing (used 3 kits for one )and mine was tail heavy in the beginning. the closer you get to a little nose heavy the better a glider will fly.
I did the same exact thing with the same motor. flew extremely well, got a loop out of it! then, my reciever's built-in speed controller stopped working :(
Those were great flights! I tried doing the same exact thing once, With pretty much the same glider here. but i just used these small, duel prop.s from this old airhogs plane, & half-assed, glued them on each wing. lol it was soo under powered.. like tryna pilot a 747 with the engine power of 2 electric weed wackers!!.. it didnt go so well
aweseme man i have the same glider although i got mine for 8 dollars. im gona put my radio equiptment from my rc Zero fighter on my glider. see if it can carry the heavy battery. plus can u tell me the center of gravity for your plane?

That's pretty ingenious...a lot more affordable too than some other kits. Are you recycling Parkzone parts?

Sweeet, well done! I've built one of these but haven't flown it yet; nice rudder design too.

Yeah, it was good fun building a trying to fly. You should RC a glider and post the video. I would like to see what you come up with.
