Fin-less Delta Wing Experiment

I saw a video once on a guy who flew his finless flying wing, what he did to get back the yaw stability was to cut off a bit of the leading edge at the wingtips. imagine if you started from about 1.5 inches in from the tip on the leading edge and drew a line to the tip of the trailing edge. aparently this introduced a bit of drag which held the plane stable, but this is awesome you've managed to get a decent flying plane without the fins, nice one mate

I finally located the video of the guys from Sacramento Area ParkFlyers who removed the fins from their wings because they were getting broken off all the time during combat flying and they were tired of having to repair them all the time.

I have flown an Assassin with and without fins. It is much more stable with fins, but no one ever knocked me out of a combat because of a lost tip. But once in a stall, you are going to crash without the tips. - See more at: http://flitetest.com/articles/fin-less-delta-wing-experiment#sthash.g6QoP81X.dpuf
