Most of my planes eventually get thrown off the cliff to see how well or how poorly they fly as a slope glider. This is just another example of how "almost anything will fly", this time in light winds with a very light experimental backyard model. It actually flew very well - it has 4 control surfaces, no rudder - just 2 elevons, and 2 leading edge slats or flaps to vary the wing's camber - it's very agile at low airspeed.
Sloping a PBF Pizza Box Flyer - no, really
