Willis I mover the leadout forward to the leading edge planking and it helped but it still hunts upright but not inverted!! I am going to move the leadout farther forward and remove the wing tip weight and give it one more try.

Whats the other plane and motor in the piture??? Thanks!

I built a 1/2A saucer when I was in high school.  The ribs were free-hand drawn with a flat bottom and airfoiled top.  The Cox Golden Bee was recessed into the front so the prop cleared the fuselage by 3/4".  I didn't know too much about what I was doing in the design phase, but it turned out to be able to fly in an unusual way.  My friends were amazed (and so was I) when I discovered that, with a headwind of something less than 10 MPH, I could get it to hover.  That required me to take it low for a lap, then climb to reduce speed, then to snap it to a specific high angle of attack into the wind, with the wind slightly away from me (to keep the lines tight).  The other kids thought it was a great model, and I was able to trade it for two kits a few months later (after I was tired of hovering).

I have a 1/2A saucer with a flat wing witch had to be glued together in sections but I flew it last
year and it diden't really fly to well.Some effects are it flys into the circle and not turning tightly???
I tried to remove the landing gear and add tip weight but it was still a little uneasy.After doing about
all the mods you can it still flew like tird.I had to fix the controls[helped turning] but it diden't help 100%.
so after awhile I set it aside for dust collecting.It still there and in no use but I still consider fixin it
but i'm not sure   .    Shawn F2d Cook

Dennis:  I hadn't heard of the "Saucer Slob".  Tried to look it up on the web after your post, but nothing came up.  Is that a real model, or were you just joking?  I built my saucer in around 1966.
