Now for the intriguing question. How do flying wings such as the B2 , which have no find or rudder, coordinate turns? If you think the B2 does it with sophisticated electronics, then answer the same question for a flexwing microlight.
PBL.. doesn't this help prove my point that it has more to do with the elevator and help disprove this weathercock theory? I believe the B2 flies with sophisticated electronics like any modern fighter but electronics aside, there has to be control surface manipulation for the airplane to change course and the B2 definitely doesn't have a rudder!
