    Horten IX with Impeller

    Äääääh - Yes Norman, just don´t forget your Ritalin! Then everything will be fine. I was using Ranis. But I was not so sure, if I can build it so exactly like the calculation was. It is difficult to do the wing-twist this exactly, like it is calculated. But I hope to compensate this with the...

    Horten IX with Impeller

    This means: that the elasticity of my foamy, makes an elimination of the same effect, wich let bridges collapse, if an armee is marching on it? - Good! I like it, if physik is working for me without my knowledge. Thats why I have this 2" block-foam-material in the corner, wich I will use now...

    Horten IX with Impeller

    Wow, F***, thats so sad. :depressed But thats exactly such an unexpected information, I expected by joining this forum. The slow-motion in the last 20sec. of the video is very illuminative. I have to think about. Good that I don´t covered the wing, so I can do the additional spar at the T1/4...

    Horten IX with Impeller

    Thanks Norman, you can´t see it at the moment, but the fixing of the wings to the body isn´t my problem an the moment. There will be 2 fiting-screws each wing, made from a dowel-pin. This makes all axis very exactly. The spars just have to take care on the dihedral angle. Maybee I fill the 7mm...

    Horten IX with Impeller

    Thanks folks, well the jig for the torsion will just be a board with mounted layers of foam in the right positions, (wing root front/wing tip rear) After glueing, I will use cellophane-foil from the kitchen, to wrap (lag) the board with the wing. Finally there will be a sandbag or...

    Horten IX with Impeller

    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...
