I grew up around gliders in Dansville, NY. The landing pattern came over our house. Now I live near the National Soaring Museum. There are many designs available but what I liked about this one is the similarity to the Morelli/Aptera optimal shape and that the curves are simple arcs and ellipses. The shape should be very stable in cross winds with a low nose to reduce lift and a high tail to clear the exhaust. If you want, let the curve come to the shoulder and add front and rear helmet fairings.
