Most everything for creating your own gliders in FMS is available for free on
the Net. Particularly ParDes.
You can find ParDes at http://rcp.web.infoseek.co.jp/fms_ParDes_GeoEX_e.html
which will allow you to modify FMS Beta 7 par files to whichever extremes you
desire.
If you have downloaded the new Alpha (which I recommend highly!) 8.3 then you
can find an updated editor at
http://gunnerson.homestead.com/files/fms_models.htm
To create your own 3D models there are tons of tutorials (example:
http://rcp.web.infoseek.co.jp/Rc_hp2/fms/Metasequoia_e.htm) using the freeware
modeler MetasequoiaLE available for free from
http://www21.ocn.ne.jp/%7Emizno/main_e.html
Finally, many have designed models in the old and new versions of FMS and while
it is not easy at first, it is not very difficult either if you can follow a
few tutorials, read between the lines and ask a few well placed questions on
either the RCGroups Simulators forums, the RCSim.de or the FMS forums. I will
be releasing an FMS version of my MMGlidertech 3M Marauder once I have a few
errors sorted out (it keeps crashing into the ground upon loading). It flies
rather much like the real thing!
Bottom line: do not pay for software to create models for FMS.
p.s. My apologies for the HTML email. There is no way to turn it off in a
web-based browser access to my emailbox.

You need a program called ParDes.
I did not find it on the net, it was shareware.
Be sure to save original par file before you play!
