7. Materials needed /recommended:
forced washout strip Cut (2) and mount atop trailing edge of each elevon (refer to blue sticth lines)

Keep in mind...any angle variation from my build will result in a different result for you. Keep in mind these plans are BETA only.
Also, try to minimize curving of fuselage base piece during fuse construction, but a little curvature won't hurt the flight characteristics.
9. When placing magnets, space them evenly
along the edges of the Fuselage Base piece.

Use more magnets at the front and rear, and remember to F

avoid placing magnets where the CF spars are. My advice is to
