Nice...

I was just wondering: how do you land crosswind with that thing? I would think that controls authority on the yaw axis is not very strong, but maybe I'm wrong?

Well, at least your fuselage isn't pushing you to land sideways...  :D

I have seen RC wings like this doing incredible things.
However, the CoG binds you with quite a big chord.
Anyway...interesting.

I've got some pictures that I took a few years ago of the Northrop Flying Wing buzzing around Chino, amazing to see fly.
