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?

"how do you land crosswind with that thing?"

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.
