    @88blaroo I didn't mean to down your plane! I just know I had a hard time getting them to fly well and wanted to give you some ideas to help

    @88blaroo feel free to take these all apart. Hopefully they can help give you insight. There aren't a ton of flying wings without gyros. (At least that I've seen)

    @Treadmill103 thank you. It was difficult trying to manage the tendency for it to pitch while rolling. But I think it turned out pretty good.
