FTFC22 Build-ruary by Scotto

This here is a X-47B I designed(no Prandtl-D wing) that needs only 2 servos and a TV unit. No gyro is needed. A dumb mistake made this possible. Only downfall, you must launch horizontal.

What's the dumb mistake? this plane flies well, and looks fun!

The first paragraph explains. If you look, 2 sets of wires come from the servo. The first set goes to elevons and the second set goes to the thrust vectoring nozzle. With it set off 45 degrees from regular axis, the tvn provides rudder deflection and elevator. So now, you have the yaw necessary to make turns and no rudder is needed. It took 6 runs to figure the deflection of exhaust to get it right. Being old school, used paper to get proper shape to look like x-47B.
