Not a glider. Looks like a Long EZ, flying at least 500ft above the surface.

Cashflyer is correct, it is a Long EZ. 168 mph indicated at the same fuel burn as our C-150. Crazy speed for such a small engine.

I have heard the long EZ has a tendency to create spins and more likely to crash...I have always been partial to the velocity myself.
