rotating cylinder-foil is considered a candidate for landing a probe on Titan. Failsafe deployment .. payload hangs in trapeze .. think upside coat-hanger shape with lanyards attached to ends of cylnder. Only problem is cylinder can clobber/obscure payload on landing.
Nice flights. One improvement; bend the wingtips opposite of each other (1 up, 1 down) to improve the spin characteristics.

of course....I assumed it was about
'slope soaring.'
