Hydra Skorpio Flying Wing

[Silver Surfer FPV]

Last of the Hydra builds for now...flies like a swallow but stings like a scorpion?

Oh you couldn't fly that where I live. The hawks would be all over that in a heart beat that flies like the small birds do up no down like that.

Is it as hard to fly as it looks or were you intentionally flying like that? Seems like a lot of stick work.

No stick work, servo/gyro wants to keep the plane level so it flies up and down. I can get it to fly level when I give it throttle, with no thrust it fights to keep level. Took a few days, lots of crashes/repairs to figure out where a flyable CG was.
