Default Tailess giant scale duraplane.

A few weeks ago I crashed my 80.5" Kadet Senior ARF. I've always had a fondness for tailess aircraft and duraplane based designs so I combined the two. It has a TT .61 Pro with 12X6 MA 3 blade prop. The wheels are hollow plastic ones off a kid's wagon. It has a 3" lite foam tail wheel so it's almost a winged four wheeler
I'm using a Prizm 7x set to "flap and elevator mixing" to act as elevons. So far it's been too windy to fly it but I don't see any real problem getting it to fly well. Anyways, if it does crash at least I'll get it on video. [X(]

Default RE: Tailess giant scale duraplane.

Did you try to fly it yet? I don't see how it could possibly be controlable or even stable, but if it flies then I guess that just shows how little I know. I've never seen anything like that.
