<p>Tucking one wing produces large roll moments but at the expense of one quarter of the lift. Large yaw moments are not generated except at higher angles of attack where the leg and tail positions become more important. Rolling moments generated in the two-wing symmetric position illustrates the senstivity of symmetry, model positioning, and sting placement; in addition, yawing moments at extreme angle of attack further illustrate sensitivity to position which could be exploited as a control mechanism during high angle of attack flight.</p
