Have been reading the "The Flex-Wing Flyers" and it is the only book I have read that explains how a flex wing actually flies. I did not realise that moving the control bar adjusts the flying surfaces much the same way as a 3-axis aileron or elevator. The style may not suit everybody, and I have see...
