YB-4 Sockeye

Prototype flying wing with no gyro. This means you will need to actively manage the yaw controls.
I recommend using the instrument horizon line as a reference point when rolling and turning.

When its show to public? @Simplemike
@Ikhsan2005 yes!
Is that a new generation of B2 Spirit?
@Simplemike no problem!
Thanks for the spotlights! @JED @communisticbanana @JohnnyBoythePilot
@Simplemike than save the gyro one as a separate craft under the name of "YB-4 Sockeye gyro"
@communisticbanana I agree, I personally prefer taking longer approaches on landing to adding a Gyro. But when playing with one on the airplane with "landing gear" it made landing super simple, but I also feel like that detracts from the reward of wrestling with it
@Simplemike gyros can get REALLY annoying, so if it is necessary, add one with the bare minimum of power needed so it can function properly.
@communisticbanana I've debated adding a Gyro that's only active with the landing gear down. Thoughts?
@Simplemike the only challenge is landing, and flying straight. (sort of)
@communisticbanana I'm glad you like it! It's an expansion on what I learned building my last flying wing. I'll be adding weapons when I can build a good looking bomb bay
this is amazing!
