Default Large Colonial Viper RC rocket glider video

I'm a little bit proud of this one this one came out really nice, and as much drag as it has is it is it boosts really well and glides like a pussycat.

Based on 4-inch bt-101 tubing and 9 mm depron for the wings and tail uses anything from an f 25 up through g 40s...

You need to be able to "air start" a second motor to kick-in the "Turbo".

Your SR-71 and F-105 videos on YouTube look like they glide really well.
The F-105 was very surprising seeing as that was one of the all-time turd worst fighters of all time.

Many of the "Century Series" fighters were very poor at dogfighting. I think that the F-105 was designed to deliver tactical nukes (or a tactical nuke) from its internal bomb bay. It was not really designed to deliver a bunch of conventional ordnance.

The F-105 Thud was totally unsuited for it's role in Vietnam. Out of the Century series only the F-101 was worse suited to dogfighting. Despite being a crappy airframe, the F-105 did manage some air-to-air kills in Vietnam due to superior PILOTING. Originally the F-4 was to be the F-110, but was already named under the Navy's GOOFBALL naming system as the F-4. That one is the only one fully-successful member of the "Century Series" of fighters.
I'm pretty certain a B-1B can safely pull more G's than a Thud.
Ugly as sin to boot.
The Brewster Buffalo is about the only aircraft uglier.

Your DynaSoar on Youtube looks great on the pad and under boost.
Unfortunately it looks like it glides about as well as a manhole cover or a full-scale F-4 Phantom.

As for the dyna-soar glider, it all comes down to shape, weight and wing loading, however I challenge you to show me an example of it that flies better 😀
