Very interesting engineering, I think it will like a Bird.

More like a plank, ha ha

I Missed this one. Now I know where it came from. I never noticed it had no adverse Yaw whe. It Flew . Good Job Nick.

"Hello?... Wrong number" - if I'd not been subscribed already that would have done it lmao.

Keen to see the flight!

I like these homebuild from ideas planes, it looks good and waiting for the test flight. Great stuff.

Thank you! Cheers!

I get the idea: - maximum lift at the centre of the wing with the HS3 section, tapering off to zero (or negative) lift at the tip with a symmetrical section airfoil with added wingtip reflex, which apparently causes proverse yaw - whatever that means!!! I like the heavily tapered elevons, which means you could put in a bucketful of elevon differential which would have most effect at the tips. Cool. Looking forward to the video of the maiden

Strapping tape and foam, can't beat that combination for carefree flying. Im still looking for a good source of EPP foam to build more of the Stan Yeo models as they are great fliers.

I had his L39 pss jet was great. I still have the plan for that and his aerobatic glider 👌 I also would love some cheap epp

👍👍👍👍👍

Place your bets. I have some form with this sort of "flying" wing.

Hi Nick, Can I ask what material you produce your foam cutting templates from?

I use the aluminum roof flashing that comes in rolls.

Without a fuselage can this be considered a plank? Is it not just a flying wing. Strapping on a fuselage like from Dune Freak may also help with CoG (longer moment lever up front); but would have to be a fin-less version to keep with the design goals here. Definitely like the construction technique. Simple low barrier in terms of materials, costs, and skilsl requirement (provided the foam is easily obtainable)
