Backslider (Glider)

A small-finned, long slender model rocket with a single ejection port at the front of the tube, whose CG is midway between the BCP and CLA; can function predictably as a no-moving-parts rocket glider; at ejection, the rocket glides fin-first; theory pioneered by Peter and Robert Alway
