| Hi Lindsay Thanks for your comments and ideas. I have tried building wings with SNOT before with reasonable success: (URL) I hadn't thought about SNOT when I was building "the wing" but I think it would allow for more tapering. Bit worried about the (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

The plane in Temple of Doom does look like a very heavily modified Horten wing, so if you dig around on Luft46 you should be able to get the specific geometries in drawings. The Horten wings did (...) (21 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

| After watching "Raiders" again for the umpteenth time, I made a quick sketch of the flying wing and then proceeded to build it (with Indy getting beaten up in the background). It was this plane that led me to the "prototypes" webpages and new ideas (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)
