New project... Boredom is a curse... Lol

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=...&v=60CgYmNb2a8 I plan to build one of these with power 15 or equivalent motors to run on 4s and be about 60". I plan to give it split rudder and everything. Obviously also a gyro stabilizer as well. Should be fun. Even retracts..

Good luck man, that sounds like an awesome project! Will be keeping my eye on this thread. I always wanted the do the bigger YB-35, but never got around it.

[rifleman_btx]

Absolutely and thanks, I'm starting my parts sourcing now. :)

[Beeg]

Sounds like fun.

[bradl4648]

Right on unique is the answer here good luck please share your progress !!

[rifleman_btx]

Absolutely, I'm stoked

[rifleman_btx]

I'm thinking about using the 12x8 props from the upgraded power system of the FL P38

I wish you every success with it. I've flown several flying wings and they fly very well, certainly the ones I've flown have.

[rifleman_btx]

Absolutely, I've got one that I love flying. I just want one on retracts and actually lived in history. :)

I love flying wings! Jack Northrop really had a thing for them too. ;) Glad he was able to see plans of the B-2 Spirit before he passed.

Good luck on the build!

[rifleman_btx]

Much agreed and thanks!

[rifleman_btx]

Well a slight change in my power system plans, I'm going to go with the complete high performance system made for the flight line p38. I figure if the work is done why mess with something that works.

Got my 3 views and all the full scale plane data, now it begins

[rifleman_btx]

Here we go!

I've been working (slowly) on a Horton 229 for some time. Other than the twin jets there is an amazing similarity. Hmmmm, I wonder how that happened. The Germans might have been real B******s, but they sure knew how to design planes. I hope this thing will fly, even with a gyro. I'm sure it will be a hand full with no verticle stab. Good luck with your project! Doc

[rifleman_btx]

Same to you my friend, crap if we weren't across the state of Texas from each other it would be an awesome formation flight!

[doctormike]

Yeah... talk about fun! Researching and trading ideas on getting a couple of flying wings in the air! I'm working on an A-10. Just realized the A-10 EDF's and nacells might be perfect to build a Horton 229 around. I just read that the stealth bomber design wasn't even started until the Horton brothers' designs and experiments were studied extensively. Really interesting stuff! Doc

[rifleman_btx]

Oh I know, those brothers were top of their game. And I was thinking that the a10 necells would lend itself perfectly to the Horton design as well. Man as mater of fact I can completely see them locked in.

[doctormike]

Just a matter of building around them while keeping it, at least close to scale.:Confused:Doc

[rifleman_btx]

Indeed. Always a kink in the line somewhere..
I guess that's part of the fun.... And flusteration
