I can tell that Marvin gets a big grin on his face every time he flies around in his saucer!

Rather than start a new thread and since this design is based on the saucer design here is my next project, a Flying Wing based on the B-2 Spirit. It will have the ventral rudders like the saucer and my Boeing FX-II Sea Eagle.

Ya'know I got to working on this and said to myself 'what if the wings were reversed?'
So now I'm working on a forward-swept blended Wing. Kinda looks organic like a Bat. So here is the glide testing of what I call the "Krazy Ivan" Berkut Flying Wing:

Bob:
That thing is uber cool! Looks like a cross between a pteradon and a manta ray. |

I had a bad sinus head ache for the last few days as I conceived this wing. So it is the product of medicated and distorted reality. It glides really well. I wanted to video outdoor glide tests but the wind here has been steadily above 8 mph. I don't like the fuse or nacelle configs so I'm reworking them too. It's supposed to rain now for four days so I won't be able to maiden her till late next week. |

Sorry you had the head ache Bob, but the design under what ever the circumstances really appeals to me. Keep up the good work sir.
