I modified a Campbell (sp) hand launched glider to fly as a boost glider. Really nice material in the kit. Just have to modify the rudder so it's not in the exhaust plume and added pylon hooks from Apogee. Hand tossing got it pretty well trimmed. But, you never know how well trimmed they are till you actually put one up under boost. Not wanting to loose it, I put it up on a 1/2A....the glider has a large wing span so with the drag I wasn't expecting much altitude. And it didn't. Separation occurred at maybe 50 feet. Started snapping pictures but noticed the glider seemed to be getting smaller. Last I so of it, it was perhaps 1000 feet and down range 1/4 to half a mile. I couldn't climb the fence to keep after it but I figured at the rate it was going, it would land in Arkansas somewhere.......

Here's a link to the vendor and kit.......

Of course, they have lots of hand launched gliders that would make great boost gliders.
