Welcome back, folks! This time we make an Arduino-based RC Flying wing out of foam, with 3ch of 2 servos and a brushless motor on board, no extended fuselage or tail, simply a cool flying wing! As this is an intermediate-builder project, it may require that you have some background knowledge of using an Arduino board, and some basic knowledge of electronics.

Hang around until the end of the video to see whether this thing can fly!
