An entry for the Flying Wing Challenge held by @General360.
This is a pure flying wing, which means, there are no vertical surfaces built to stablize the plane, and there are no xml edits as well.
A plane without vertical stablizer will easily get into stall. My solution is propulsion vectoring generated by propeller pitch function. The outer engines provide forces to push/pull the left/right sides of the plane, so a yaw vector is produced and the plane could stay under control.
I did a search and this is probably the first flying wing that use this method. I'm very proud of it and I hope this method spreads.
I think this challenge is very nice;)
Enjoy!

Not something I've seen before. Definitely something I'm going to use if I can. It is very smooth to fly.
@TheOwlAce Thank you:D
Very interesting, having the pitch on the forward edge of the wing is something new for sure.
