RA's have a glider kit kind of similar to the space derby kit. It looks like it has wings instead of fins. Does anyone have any tips on building these??

Never seen one of those. I would imagine the same basic principles apply. Thin your body down as much as possible but still survive the end stop, keep it balanced so glider does not point excessivly up or down, keep wings level so they don't slow down the plane. Have any pics of the kits and/or finished products?
