I can't think of any pure gliders that are also "bouncable"...the ones that come to mind are the Multiplex Teddy and the Push-E-Cat. Both planes are sorta like stubby gliders (more like motor gliders, I guess), with a pylon mounted pusher prop. I think the Teddy is styrofoam, whereas the Push-E-Cat is EPP, meaning its more durable then the Teddy, but probably a bit heavier then the Teddy. I would assume the Teddy is easier or at least quicker to build.
You can see the Teddy here: http://www.multiplexrc.com/teddy.htm Here's the Push-E-Cat: http://www.rc-aero.com/kits/pushe/index.html It's not exactly pretty, but just yesterday I saw someone using one at the slope and ite seemed to fly nice.
