The pictures are before and after I landed deadstick in high grass at a fly-in, tearing the gear off and damaging the tail. I chopped the stab off and made a flying wing out of it. Or a tailless airplane if you are a purist. OS .61SF. Everyone said it wouldn't fly, but of course, it flew great with no stab & elev. I just changed the Wing Type from Flaperon to Elevon, moved the battery & rudder servo forward for balance and went for it. (I do have a lot of experience with tailless, flying wing, delta planes).

Get a .46 or .55 and a paddle blade 12.25 x 3.75 APC prop and let her rip. Jumps into the air and lands like a trainer. In case you wondered, the throttle servo is mounted on 2 quarter inch dowels.
