A little glider I designed for my boy to play with. As of time of uploading I've yet to flight test it, though.

Required:
1/16x6x36" balsa sheet (74mm wide x 1.6mm thick)
4mm x 300m long dowel (or carbon fibre rod if you're fancy)
Weight for the nose.

The wing will need to be about 115mm from the tail unit, though that's just where I've placed it in the design as a guesstimate. I suggest not fixing the wing root until you’ve trimmed it to your satisfaction.

I've used PETG/CF (coated with thin CA glue for added strength), single perimeter, 10% infill. I suggest using Colorfabb Varioshore for the nose cone to keep it nice and bouncy.
