No winglet? No problem

by squishy | May 31, 2013 | (6) Posted in Tips

Me and Dan from stu's channel ( http://www.youtube.com/user/MrOOSTUOO ) talking about the finless combat wings we use for night time combat. Lee over at Crash Test Hobbies has come up with an ingenious solution for a tailless or finless flying wing. It's like the yaw self stabilizes simply because of the drag balancing out on the wing tips.

We can be found at www.ParkFlySac.com, the local Sacramento area parkflying community.

Great video! I love my Assassin. Everyone should have at least one! I particularly like the night flying sequence at the end. Craziness!

When we get 20 in the air at once it gets really crazy..

Cool idea! Could you shoot a video showing its lowspeed tumbling/stability-characteristics during daylight? Or at what speed does it fly straight?

These are night combat planes dude. Actually if you search for Assassin or crash test hobbies on youtube you will get lots of daytime video to view..
