BnB Rockets "Boost Glider" Is a perfect example of a gliding recovery system. In some cases, radio-controlled rocket gliders are flown back to the earth by a pilot in much the way as R/C model airplanes are flown. Some rockets (typically long thin rockets) are the proper proportions to safely glide to Earth tail-first. These are termed ...
