Hey, we are looking at using ArduPilot: Plane to automatically land a fixed wing glider plane (without using the propeller) after flying it to a certain altitude. We would like to know if anyone here has used ArduPilot on propulsion-less aircraft before and whether or not ArduPilot is capable of flying gliders.

The fixed wing would be launched from a balloon once it has reached a desired altitude and would be required to navigate to a landing point (or waypoint).
