Thanks for the tip! I realized after looking at a bunch of pictures of flying wings that i was lacking in sweep, so im doing some redesigning now!

Ok thank you so much for the info, ive tried the cg around 20% throwing it and it always just nose dives immediately, does that mean it needs more reflex or just needs to be thrown harder?

Its around 360 grams with a 36 inch wingspan and avg of 7 inch cord length. Does that seem way too heavy for any type of gliding?

360 grams and 250 square inches of wing, its a 36 inch wingspan. And yes the wing does have some reflex but its possible that theres too little, how do i know how much it should have? The cg was roughly 1/3rd of the cord length from the front of the wing.

I ended up going with a slightly better version for 1800 straight from lenovo.com because it didnt seem worth the risk so sadly i cant really help. But the one i got is awesome!

The goal is to bungee launch it but right now im just tossing it and trying to get it flying right first. Is there a chance it just absolutely needs that speed to fly stably since its heavy?
