I doubt that this one stayed up for long after being launched. It looks as if it had a sink rate not a lot better than a lead balloon.

Why you felt than my dear Avion.

Looks OK to me, as far as one can tell from the photos. It’s got plenty of wing area, the tail attachment system looks quite lightweight and the pilot acts as a noseweight to bring the CG forward. Looks like a good subject for a model!
