In this country the glider is considered a drone which is illegal to
operate above 400 ft.
And you need line of sight to the drone or model aircraft I believe.
It is cool but I want to know whose insurance will be paying any claims?
That being said it might be interesting to make a glider that will release
itself at 400 feet and steer itself to a preset landing spot downwind.

There are specific rules for balloons and high powered rockets. I don't
think there are any provisions for high altitude drones.

there is probably a way to get a permit for it. I know I have to do that
