My first try at a flying wing. Why not give it a go with my favorite? I will release an improved version soon. Any suggestions for a plane i should build? Leave an idea in the comment section below!

    A bit nose-heavy but everything else is wonderful! :D

    Gr8 job... Performs well and, from the looks of things, was an easy build... If you want to have a suggestion for improvements feel free to steal parts from my version ( at this link: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/aMFQ6r/Northrop-YB-49-Bomber ) if you include credit for the parts.

    I like. It is very steady but raw at the same time. No glitching through nose cones or anything like that, its a simple plane.
