Bill, Thanks.
Now, what is the name & description of the other type of transition.

The glider attempts to do an outside loop during the launch. The trick is to get it to do 1/4 of an outside loop so it's at the highest point of the curve when it transitions. If all goes well (occasionally) there is no loss of altitude in the transition to glide.

How about a definition of a bunt for this novice.

The glider that currently holds the Cat 2 UCLG record has an extreme bunt, an extremely stiff fuse and it has no tip washout.

2) To get a great transition you want washout, again locking the flap at the tip achieves this.
I would try not to have a bunt during the launch. A bunt indicates your fuse is too weak and is bending. You can get the same model higher if you don't have a bunt. The shortest distance between to points is a straight line.
