GWS receivers are about the same size as an HS50 servo. Itty bitty things.
Range kinda sucks, but it's good enough for park fliers.

I've seen an RC rocket glider launch and it's definately something you don't
want hitting another plane under boost. The guy flying it told me that if
you touched the sticks, even with low rate set to about 10%, it was
completely uncontrollable. He eventually figured out a way to set up the
mixes so that he could get a nearly invisible amount of movement on the
elevons, but it would still roll faster than you could see.

True. I don't have anything airworthy that's older than a couple of years,
unfortunately.
