The scout-like booster in the old Flying Stovepipe annular wing glider model never worked for me - the engine always blasted past the engine hook and the booster never disengaged.

So I built a different booster based on the sliding wing Ringhawk design. The fin can is pulled forward by an elastic band at ejection to pitch the glider over the nose of the booster. The fins have tabs to provide spin. Lastly, it's a rear ejection design.

This isn't my prettiest build, as I was winging it - and shouldn't have painted the length of the booster.

Haven't launched it yet - but it's ready to try.
