How do you make a plane fly straight without a vertical stabilizer?

    You can make it work but it will virtually always require some degree of dihedral on the wings to simulate a vertical stabiliser. In real life, planes can have fly-by-wire systems that constantly apply tiny yaw corrections to negate the need for yaw stability, but that's not an option available to us. You might be interested in the entries to this challenge, though

    Maybe hiding a vertical stabilizer in the fuselage works?

    @ElGatoVolador but some planes like Delphinus' Blackmanta dont have curved wing tips

    My guess is to make the wing tips curve alittle if not IRL they use computers to stabilize the planes like a B-2
