  • Eventually, the partnership ended in acrimony when the "throwing guy" questioned why he was doing all the hard work and the other guy was having all the fun.

  • Incredibly efficient. Did you see at 1:55 the left wing hits the ground the the wing has so much lift that the spining action of it hitting the ground is enough for the pilot to flare the rest of the plane and make a soft landing. WOW

  • i motor would be fun to when you have no good thermals in the area

  • Very good

    

  • Very nice build. It reminds me of the Klingberg.

    It looks to me like the cg is a little too far aft. cheers

  • a big omni wing

  • Needs a 1/2"X3" dowel rod in the wing tip of the right wing to make it The worlds largest DLG!

  • Ever hear of a bungee launcher? A 20 meter bungee will sling that thing for almost a .5k. Man, I love flying wings.

  • Nice work!!! By adding an engine/motor you have a long-endurance drone.

  • It does indeed need vertical stabilisers. When it gets down to low flying speed, it starts tumbling around, and you would never be able to recover from that at altitude without stabilisers. It is a sure crash.

  • make it rc!

  • needs more weight in front
