Having done the biplane from the zeppelin escape scene in Indiana jones I thought I might as well do other notable aircraft from the series. So behold, the flying wing from Raiders of the Lost Ark! I must say I'm pleased at how it's turned out. There's a slight yaw wobble when turning and it requires some trim in flight. For some good examples of how a flying wing should fly I suggest you give @EpicPigster1 page a look. He has some really good flying wings and in a way inspired me to build this. I tried to make it as accurate as the prop from the movie which would have included the swastikas on the tails had my iOS not stopped me from doing so. Please note I emphasise accuracy to the real thing and not some political ideology before I get loads of hate mail! VTOL down for flaps and AG1 for lights. This is my first flying wing and probably my last as on iOS you can't nudge vertical stabilisers into place so please enjoy!

It welcome! Nice plane!@Tang0five
@KidKromosone and @MrVaultech thanks for giving this some time!
I know there's supposed to be some on the winglets but I'm limited by building on iOS and you can't nudge things into place @CandyMan1987

@Tang0five i got 135 points yeah now im in bronze
It is a very nice aircraft @Tang0five
@Tang0five do you like my F-22 Raptor?!?!?!
I like it
Yeah
Could have done, like with my biplane @Vuki11 I felt the need for more lift instead. As it turns out it doesn't really need it!
@Tang0five do you like my planes? What is your favourite
VTOL was for the back machinegun
Thank you! @RCBOSS
