Piloting a Space Shuttle (delta) wing style glider is easy.
Look at it a "guided" free flight. You just mildly work the controls to keep it pointed in the direction you want, then "flare" the landing.

Then again, I have flown R/C since 1978 from gliders to pattern (precision aerobatics), to pylon racers, to Jets.

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, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !
