This is a tailless plane inspired by futuristic looking sailplanes like the Akaflieg braunschweig SB-13 and the Horten Ho 7. it flies surprisingly easy and stable. Making sure the COG was right was quite hard though XD. I added a prop engine on the front because i think it's quite boring to fly otherwise. i reccomend not to use the yaw-rudder much as it causes wobbly movements. Have fun with it.

@PlaneBoy3 That would be even more unstable, but i'll try
You should try to make a pusher prop version.
