Guys, let's keep the posts on the topic of model aerodynamics. A little light heartedness here and there is fine. But don't make the thread drift into sillyness or it'll get shut down.

As for the conveyor belt thing don't go there. We already had two long running threads in this forum on that topic. We're not turning this thread into a third such bout of craziness.

I'm pretty sure that for static stability (CG in front of the neutral point), an UNSWEPT flying wing needs to have some effective reflex in order to trim for level flight. Once you go to a delta, or add enough sweep, the connection between stability and need for reflex goes away (there's a reason you don't see many unswept flying wings). I suppose this is one of those myths where something that applies to a special case (usnwept flying wings) gets communicated as a general truth.
