That would be me, I flew it at NARAM 48 in SFFS. It did glide rather nicely. I flew it twice, I DQ the first flight because the parachute got caught on the pod hood and the pod streamed line in. There was a little stall in the first glide. Made a adjustment to the chute lines and add a little nose weight the next flight was qualified and the glide was very nice. Much better then you would think something that heavy could glide.

What R/C gear are you using?

You can see pictures of my CM on the NARAM Live site. Chris got a couple of nice shots of it.
