Almost any hydrodynamic body shape can be built into a glider.
The crucial step is weighting. They need to sink slowly and level. The level part is very important.
Where you weight them supposedly determines their action.
I can't remember, unfortunately, but there was an excellent article on Tackle Underground some years back about this. I think if the weight is concentrated in the middle they tend to veer wildly and if the weight is distributed to both ends they tend to veer more subtly (but it might be the opposite).
