Just sayin’ , all the new guys here who haven't yet flown a disk plane are in for a real treat ... You’d think that a disk with no airfoil and no dihedral would be unstable ... just the reverse is true ... Very Stable , and with all that area in a small diameter they do fly fairly Slow , when you want them to ... Fast too when you want , NO tucking problems !!!
So EASY to make too !!! Cut out a flat circle for FFF (no airfoil) , glue on a fuselage and fin , tape on the ailerons , add a chopstick motor mount , that’s it for the airframe ...  Having made a few, I can have one ready to fly in an hour ... using hot glue ... Simple as it gets ... Lots of FUN , and very Alien looking in the air ...
... and it’s “Scale “ ...
