This one flew great from the first throw! super light weight at only 460g ready to fly. Flies very much like a traditional flying wing. airfoil design makes the stall speed very low and landings are soft. plenty of power with the single 40mm xfly galaxy unit. I've included the landing skid fuselage sections in the file.
Build is very easy! no motor extensions and no servo extensions.

Pre flight notes:
the underside intakes will drop the nose until it hits 15mph or so. this requires a strong 50 degree up throw. You may want to trim some up elevator for the first flight so it doesnt catch you off guard. maybe have someone else throw it the first time.
