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)

(...) Yes--the "straightness" was also my big concern. 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)

(...) It will tricky though. Sweep and taper is not easy to do. While you are at it, more red on the tails please. And those might need to extend further aft. That would also help soften the "straightness". Christian (21 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Excellent idea. As you write the best part is the rear gunner. I am looking forward to seing more pictures. However I think that the planform is too straight. The wings needs to be swept back and maybe more tapering. Christian (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)
