Stock glider

[climatix]

So i just wanted to find out how well gliders fly in ksp and i found that they fly surprisingly well. I flew to 1200 meters then dropped the engines and then just started gliding. Making sharp turns makes the thing speed. I flew like that until i reached 5000m so the altitude increased about 3800 meters, also the only control surfaces are 6 canards and the craft needs some pitch trim.

At start it uses 2 jet engines to get off the ground.

Here are some pictures and the craft file :
