New Design -- Freewind BG
Here's a glider design that I'm trying to morph into a pop-pod BG. The glider should fly as shown, with the CG at about 25%. The ballast weight is about 1/8th ounce, or one good ball-shaped fishing sinker. I'm going to build a couple of these to see if I can trim it for a good glide, then I'll work on the pod.
Notice on the 2D views the working margin value of 8769.28... RockSim says it's overstable. 
Wingspan: 13.5"
Length: 12"
Weight: 0.472 oz
Enjoy!
