Hello everybody,

I make the attempt to build a Horten IX flying wing with impeller and brushless-motors by using extruded polystrol foam (t=3mm 7 Selit).
I am searching for people wich have some experiance in this.
Befor there comes some critisissm cause of the wing-profile, - the wings are not fully covert on the uper side. This will be done next,
by fixing them into a structure form for to make the wing twist to 5°. In german speaking forums, I can´t finde somebody wich tried this
with foam-plates.
Most of them buildes this plane from wood or block-foam. They don´t understood, ehat the wing-twist is done, by final gluing in a form! :tired:
Please excuse my bad english. Pictures show more than words.
