A new version of my tailless sailplane. This time i placed the propeller in push configuration. By switching from elevators to flaps I improved the stability and manouverability. The small fins on the side improve Yaw-stability.
What do you think of the Winglets?
I'd like to challenge you: try to make a plane without a tail. It might be harder than you expect, but it's a lot of fun.
Have fun with it!

Very cool, love the shape of the wing and the winglets. And in addition to all of that, it flies great. Nice job.
