Bi-wing glider
I have an article reprinted from the 1920's IIRC that is an account and
has pictures of a bi-wing glider built and flown by Ed Heath. He had basically omitted the engine from one of his bi-planes and moved the pilot location for the correct CG. I believe this was the glider he set several records in. Notably none were soaring records. Something like farthest distance towed and first glider to perform a loop. The plane sufferred a very poor L/D due to interplane struts and full wire bracing! T-rex
