Auto Credit Based on JessaLeih's 100% Genuinely Tailess Brake Stabilized UCAV
A slower and bigger successor to my tailless UCAV, it now automatically aligns itself to its direction of travel using the novel airbrake rudder system.

@JessaLeih Very late re-reply but, setting YawRate to "-50" actually made this thing more stable. It could actually post-stall maneuver even before that.
@PantheraShojii Yup. Specifically when the YawRate is set to "-50" and the brakes are pulled, it comes to a complete stop in the air
@HariTheSnakk this specific one? You sure it's not the D.20B variant I recently posted? That's pretty interesting
Something I discovered when I put the Chimney Swift's airbrake codes into the upper airbrakes was that it made it not only more stable but also capable of performing post-stall maneuvers
@CenturiVonKikie It will be finished soon. Most likely in a few days tops.
@ThomasRoderick can't wait to see it!
I'm now building my first tailless flying wing, the CCTW-A-A-01 "Nightstalker", with codes modified from this plane. Thanks!
@ThomasRoderick yep, I was stumped because I didn't know AngleOfSlip was even a thing until I asked in a forum, so the first tailess airplane didn't have slip angle compensation but YawRate helped keep it under control, I'm thinking about making a genuine flying wing since those brakes behave exactly like a weathervaning vertical stabilizer now, which would make true tailess flying wings a walk in the part.
the novel airbrake rudder systemSomething to do with slip angle, I assume?
