Aluminium Glider that once flew well

This aluminium glider flew remarkably well for a time, but then seemed to forget how to do it!

It’s all aluminium, with a fuselage made by folding up ‘C’ sections and sticky-taping them to get a rectangular hollow section. I made a second section that would telescope inside the main fuselage so I could adjust the location of the centre of gravity. It also provided a shock-absorber to reduce damage on landing.IMG_3399
