Cool flying wing!

My paper flying wing planes in Denver always had winglets that drooped down...if I made them tilt up in the usual position, the planes would invariably porpoise! I'm reviving an RC foam plane project begun by me and a former friend who turned me onto this affordable approach, a healthy legacy of our relationship, by using three carbon fiber fishing pole tips to use to both strengthen the wings and also to join them to the foam lifting body glider that will house the battery, with the motor THIS time mounted on the rear. I love this jet-powered flying wing! Amazing that jet engines can be so tiny!
