Doesn't fit together very well straight of the printer, will have to glue it together, though that could be an issue on my end

I can't get the parts to fit together, maybe calibration issues on my part.. Had to glue them but now it flies like a boomerang instead lol

@PapaYaraNder_124318 try adding weight to the nose, so that the glider can balance about 25% back from the front of the wing. Hold with a finger under each wing to verify where it balances.

I printed with 5% honeycomb infill. Added a fair amount of nose weight to make it fly. Going to drop it from an RC plane this weekend and see how it glides.

Fun fast print! Used .3mm layer height and solid layers all the way through. Took about 55 minutes. Glides quite well!
