Hey guys, just a little question.
How do you make a flying wing design as stable as a regular plane design?
I've recently restarted working on a giant aircraft carrier and i ended up with a pretty stable design but it does have issues when rolling or flying at high speed.
Do you have any tips on how to improve my design, the link for the prototype is down here: linky

@TheFlightGuySP Thank you so much, i'll try it out as possible
@airlinerbuilder No problem! I've used this:
You may have to adjust some of the values depending on how the aircraft performs, since this was used in a sailplane and not a high-speed aircraft.
@TheFlightGuySP thanks, with the vertical stabilizers i was trying to make a YB-49 like plane but thinking about it the airbarkes are better. Do you have an input or an FT code that i could use?
Well for one thing: flying wings by definition do not have dedicated vertical stabilizers (there are some exceptions to this, such as the YB-49), so I would get rid of those.
As far as stability goes, there are two primary options:
