The heat on the tail scares me though. Hmmm...how do we
get rid of the glider tail?


Why would you want that?
Many have tried it, an noone came even close to a conventional layout
(the compromise design Genesis was the only one that offered similar
handling wualities and performances as a conventional glider).

Having no tail is less of an advantage if your wing has twice the
drag...
