Really stable for a flying wing, but manuverability is not the best. ~350mph crusing speed and red for your crashing pleasure. (No guns, as it is a sport model) BTW I know it's not 100% correct, the Ho 229 V3 was more of a template for this design.

    Nice looking flying wing man. Some hidden vertical stabilizers in the body would help with the yaw wiggle.

    Thanks! It took a large about of research and trial and error.

    Flies very well for something that is basically one big wing
