I have an aircraft that has a glider that follows it and when the pilot sits down in it it releases from the parent aircraft. I was just wondering whether anyone has a script to make a plane glide down with only left and right controls or knows how to make one.

you could request permisions to take control on gliders spawn and have llSetBouyancy(.  ish anything under 1 and under will slowly fall anything higher will float up |

If you just remove all of the controls apart from left and right from a standard aircraft script it should work (depending on the script I suppose, but that's what you're really doing here).
I wouldn't use llSetBuoyancy on a vehicle - I would use the appropriate vehicle flag instead, which is VEHICLE_BUOYANCY. The vehicle system doesn't use energy, whereas llSetBuoyancy does, so if your vehicle is heavy it is safer.
I did try to design a proper glider recently by the way, one which had lift on the wings proportional to forward velocity etc, but SL really wasn't having it no matter how hard I tried. I imagine things will be better with Havok 4.
