Default RE: Engines, Propellers, and Weights

If you mean can you toss it by hand and let it glide, yes.

If it is going faster than stall speed it will glide until it lands or until it stalls and falls out of the air.
If it is going slower than stall speed it will just fall to the ground.

If this will be your first flying model you should buy a kit and select the engine and other parts based on the kit designer's recommendations. You need to learn to build and fly before you try to do your own design.
