Flying wing design proves to be efficient
 
1 Attachment(s)
HEllo everyone. I am obsessed with flying wings at this point. The first couple of pics are the flying wing i built yesterday evening, and- eat this dave powers!!!- FLEW WITHOUT A TAIL WITH NO GYRO!!!!!!, i took the two vertical tails off and it flew under very good control.

the tiny wing with a penny is a new design that has a 6.2/25 L/D ratio. ( i checked), also, three inches away from the tip. it has a 13 degree washout, technically i think they are blended wingletshttp://static.rcgroups.com/forums/im...s/rolleyes.gif

if you want to test out the glider here are the specs:
Wing Span: 16.5inches.
Main Chord: 8.25 inches
Tip Chord: 4 and .125

i am planning on taking the EDF out of this other wing and slapping it into the new design!!!!.

what do you think Guys??

Looks slick. Sort of like a cross between the Batplane and a B-2.... :D

13 degrees of washout seems like a helluva lot though. Perhaps try playing with the CG location and reducing it to more like 6 to 8 degrees.

13* of washout is definitely what's giving you that yaw-stability for sure. I'd call it washout so that you can have a flying wing without winglets or vertical stabs....but they are more like wing strakes/blended winglets.
