Default R/C Vulcan Bomber rocket glider

I designed this on Thurs evening, flew Friday, video from today, based on some 2.6" tubing I had and a pnc-80BB nose cone that was pretty close to profile for a vulcan, wing is 32" span, 9mm depron, tail is 6mm depron as is the cockpit and motor details. I trimmed the rear of the tube to represent the stinger on the Vulcan, of course you can't really get the shape right without doing a builtup fuse and wing with the massive thick root, but I think it looks the part close enough. Length is 28", weight ready to fly wtih 24mm composite rocket motor is 10.2 oz, wing loading on glide is 5 oz/sq foot, so it's a floater. It's my new favorite.
