Any good tips or sites where to get started?

I was thinking of making a flying wing R/C and want to put a stability augmentation system on it to keep it stable.

Anyone recommend a good R/C site, control site?

thanks

"Make" magazine did an article on this not too long ago. Might see if I can find it tonight. In general you're going to wind up putting some micro-gyros and a small PIC controller on the fuselage.
