Happy new year for everyone! I want to tell you about my new and unusual model, that I flew first time at the last day of 2017 year. This plane refracts my view to conception of next generation SST. I think it must be rather small capacity, but long range and luxury private airplane. It also must be able to reach high lift to drag ratio on any speed: 2 Mach and 0,9 Mach (high subsonic speed must be used for flying above populated areas). I made several variants of design and number of gliding models since 2016 year. This year I made final and very unusual design. The main feature must be adaptive wing with folding wing tips (XB-70 style). Very primitive foamy glider flew very well for it's size and quality. 
Then in October I started to build RC plane 
The model was not difficult to build however due to some reasons it was ready to maiden flight only 31th December. I was surprised that it flew successfully from the first try. It was very stable and predictable to control. Here are some flight photos and video:
