This is quite the handful but so rewarding when you tame it! This high altitude/high speed aircraft is designed to research different departure-of-flight recovery scenarios. Landing is pretty tricky but is similar to the Blacksmith. I hope you guys enjoy this beast! Let me know what you all think. (Yes i know it does have the annoying roll issue but I havent been able to fix it.) Cheers!-Jim

P.s: please consider this a WIP. I am currently reworking this to fly a bit more stable.

    Tip: hide some roll rcns on the tips of the wing. It helps with better recovery at slow speeds and prevents tip stalling
