I've been flying my Mach 2 rocket glider kit I make quite a bit with pusher motor instead of rocket glider, I've done several versions, german, US and Russian...I've been having a blast, I'm surprised how well it flies, really pretty precise and no bad habits, just a great flying plane....I like the look, sort of Huckebein, sort of mig 15, a little F-86ish....One of my customers did a nice version with a pseudo Eastern Front Winter scheme....

I did some modifications to my IntR/Ceptor rocket glider kit, getting rid of the horizontal tail surfaces and going with just elevon control on the wing. As such, i was going to retire this original version. However I wound up sticking a pusher motor on it and giving it new life, it is a very nice flyer and looks really good in the air. It's 12 oz rtf and about 42" long and 20" wingspan.

Another of my older designs that I had flown as a rocket glider quite a bit, since I've now built a full tube based bomarc missile, I wasn't planning on flying this again, but I decided to pull it off the ceiling, and add an esc and fly it as a pusher to give it some more life. Handled the 10-12 mph winds pretty well, even though the wing is small and it weighs 14 ounces, it still was able to hover, or at least stay in one spot pretty well.

About 48" long, 22" wingspan...

Got my old Buran down from the ceiling, did a modification to make the nose look better and pulled out my old electronics and installed a bec-less setup with a single cell lipo directly to the receiver. Re-balanced and got down to 14 oz, here are three flights today, still fat and draggy and but still a nice flyer, for a shuttle. I decided not to add any tail detail just to save tail weight and make it a bit simpler to construct.
