Looking for flying wing kit(s). Size of 2 Meter wingspread or slightly larger 60" Max. Not interested in a foam kit. Was there one called a "Klinger" or similar. Looked at EBay did not see anything . Hope I put this in the right group. Am flying a Gentle Lady at the present time. Thanks for any help. Bob Palmer

Klingberg wing. They turn up occasionally. I seem to remember him selling the plans for these recently. The plans-only set included self-adhesive rib patterns. The thing goes together pretty easily but I was unimpressed with its handling. this was pre-computer transmitter times for me. Try 'google' and search by "Klingberg Wing" or "Rollin Klingberg"

60" = 1.5m

2m = 78"

How about the Paoli flying wing?

It's a 100 inch span but the idea is easy to replicate at pretty much any size you want.

Klingberg also sold a 100" span flying wing that was supposed to be a pretty decent thermal plane. Sheeted foam wings. I got one on the bench, need to fly it one of these days.
