I have just started a flying wing project. The planes are so unstable they can't fly properly. I would like some tips on the proper ways to build a flying wing.

This actually worked for my HO-229 i was building. This was super helpful, Thank you!
I found this and also found this helpful! I managed to make a working flying wing!
Thanks guys!! I was able to get a flying wing up in the air two days ago thanks to your tips. It flies close to the speed of sound.
If it spirals sideways, add in larger vertical stabilisers far behind the centre of mass
And as a general rule for all aircraft, make sure centre of lift is behind the centre of mass. The closer, the more agile and unstable, farther away and it pitches slowly but it will be more stable
Well, flying wings don't work too well on SimplePlanes, but it is possible. Assuming you're on PC and have overload or can xml easily, make the shape of your aircraft out of fuselages, then nudge in wings inside. You'll also need to put in vertical stabilisers. I'm haven't actually been able to get a flying wing to work on simple planes before, so sorry if these tips don't help
