Trailer, not glider, but...
Last week my wife and I were towing our utility trailer with two 17'
kayaks on the interstate. I've also been carrying 3 5-gallon cans of
water up front in the trailer as ballast. Last week one of the cans
developed a leak and suddenly, at 75 mph, the trailer began to sway
violently left to right. Slowing down to 60 mph would make the swaying
stop, but that's dangerous out west. So - first exit we got off and
loaded a bunch of rocks in the front of the trailer. Problem solved!

Been towing gliders for some time.
Tongue weight is number one. You want significant forward CG in trailer.
Stiff sidewall tires is number two. Get trailer tires. Not car tires.
Keep it under 80mph.
