"Mini Buzz" Blended Wing Project

I went back and looked thru the photos of old planes of mine. I think the reason i keep them straight is that i usually use premade aileron stock on my planes and so its the same across.
On this little wing i did a few years back i did do the 25% at each ends (gets smaller at wing tips):

But than i went and looked at an old picture of my starfires and it keeps the shape out to the wings, looks kind of similar to how the woody looks above. And i like how that plank flies a lot. But in the picture i noticed my Zupair z1 and it looks like the elevons get bigger at the wingtips, so i went and found another picture and they definitely get bigger. And i love how that flies too.

Good stuff!

Doc.
 
Get some gap seals on here, being a plank I think these elevons will be challenging, but probably fine. You will not want any play in them!
