Dymond Blitz Flying Wing
 

After much prep I tried to fly my brand new Dymond Blitz. I laterally balanced the wing, noticing the right wing was heavy right out of the box. I taped the antennae on top of the left wing (behind the thickest portion of the ribs). On seven attempts with power (a 05 with a 12x8 pusher prop, the wing rolled left and dorked the lawn.
What is your opinion? Should have left the right wing heavy? Antennae became a stall strip? Excessive torque?

Dymond suggested the wing may have been heavy originally to compensate for the motor torque. Any suggestions?

It may roll that way from torque. Try throwing it without power to see if it is the airframe doing it. Right trim in the ailerons or down/right thrust in the motor might also help. You may have to launch at lower power and then let it build speed before powering up. Without a rudder to keep it straight torque may have more effect than a conventional fuselage. Hard to figure out when all you have is a few seconds of flight time to watch it. Do you have a good zero on the ailerons? One might be a smidgen off of neutral.

If anything, I was progressively giving the wing more right aileron trim but to no avail. I did try a highstart on only the first attempt but the CG was too far aft (although forward of the recommended 220 mm from leading edge!!!! I was able to cut the motor quickly and flatten the landing out for six out of the seven flops.
