A true flying wing. Be VERY gentle on rudder input! It uses an extremely sensitive differential airbraking system for yaw. It is also extremely unstable in the yaw axis; beware of this. USB rudder pedals or twisting joystick advised.

This is a testbed for a Realism Series Ho 229, to see just how stable a rudderless flying wing is. The results were horrible; remove the Winger U.3's vertical fins to see for yourself.

Roll rate is poor, pitch rate and wing loading are excellent, and yaw rate is extremely fast and powerful.
