A completely new Ultralight Glider design inspired by the YF23 fighter jet concept and using lessons learned from my previous Ultralight 2gram Glider:

(also check out my glider spaceship: https://www.printables.com/model/462466-uss-enterprise-1701-f-print-in-place-glider )
While this glider can be hand thrown, it flies much better with a rubber band launch and performs more consistently outdoors compared to the Ultralight 2gram Glider. Both designs should fly well and use only 2 grams (less than 1 meter) of filament and take just 15 minutes to print. Print a squadron of each and have a blast.
Instructions:
Special thanks to @becki05_321509 for designing a launcher to make rubber band launching easier - find the great model here:
