Default How do they fly?

I have a panther ordered and I notice most of the open and SSC planes are basically flying wings. I have flown several of the e-power wings (Zagi, Slinger etc). Do these fly fairly similar but with lots more power?
Thanks,,,basmntdweller

Used to be alot of flying wings in combat. Kinda went away. Predator was tough but with limited wing span at 48" was handicaped.
Now if your in Texas the falcon is king. 72 w.s"
In the midwest the avenger, bandit, and pirhana are king.
Watch the c.g. its critical in a flying wing.

I have a Predator X. It flys great. The cg is very important as is the elevator (elevon) travel. You can give it lots of aileron travel but a little elevator goes a long way. I was thinking about getting a Panther but putting an os46fx on it and using it in open class, but I haven't talked to Tufflight yet about what they think about it. My Pred X screams with the os46fx on it, just imagine it on the smaller Panther. By the way, my Pred X has flown right thru everything in it's path so far with only covering scratches for damage.
