    Horton 229

    I just watched a documentary about the WWII German Horton 229 flying wing. Wow!...what a beautiful model this would be! I guess fitting two EDF's inside the wings might be a problem, but if possible, this would really be cool. It might have to be semi scale. Doc

      I'm going to scratch build one, but with a single EDF. Maybe twins later. 50" wingspan. Doc

          I can build it, however, flying with no vertical stab might be quite a challenge. I noticed it has a slight bit of dihedral. A little more might not hurt. Doc

            This was the original stealth bomber. EVERYONE should be SO thankful we stopped the Germans when we did. Doc
