It looks terrible, but the Khamsin has a purpose; it can be operated more or less the same in any wind condition, and it is still very stable in low winds. It's my first true flying wing aircraft, so I think it's kinda cool.

@apfel33 Honestly, I have no clue. Every other fling wing I've tried ended with terrible stability issues. I have a feeling it has something to do with the fact that the fuselage is very minimal, so it doesn't catch too much wind to knock it off course. The extension of the wings to the back may have helped in some way, too.
How does this even work?
