Yeahhhh, mine flew nothing like that.
They were barely "controlled crashes".
The second one flew ok when "hand tossed" but not when launched.
Not sure what I did wrong, but was annoying enough that I'm not attempting again.
That said, I always got decent glides out of my 1284 Space Shuttle orbiters and my Orbital Transport orbiters. I built them always with lower than stock elevator angle and about 50% more nose weight than the instructions.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
