This my first attempts at building a flying wing, it is vaguly inspired by the Ho-229. It isn’t the easiest thing in the world to fly and it is a pain in the arse to land as it stalls all too easily and turning at anything above 15000 feet can put it into a flat spin. If either of these things happen, use AG1 to throw some emergency parachutes. If any of you have any advice on how to make a better flying wing, please let me know as I would really like to build one that doesn’t suck
