Oddly enough the only other recommended motor for the Swift is the B6-2 — no A motors are recommended. So, okay, I tried a B6-2. It tore off the pad and it looked to me as though the glider separated about a half second before ejection. Not sure quite what happened, other than exactly the same thing as before: the glider dove nose first into the ground.

Very odd. It’s not like the glider doesn’t glide: it does, quite well, when I hand toss it. But 0 for 3 off the pop pod.
