You could also take a look for reports and magazine articles on a Horten IX built in Britain in the last three or four years and sporting twin gas turbines. I have had the privilege of seeing video of this and a twin turbo HP Victor in the air together filmed at a LSMA airshow.
I learned just this last weekend that the Horten is no more, sadly. It was a most magnificent looking model.
If you can contact the builder (I do not have it ) I believe that he did considerable research on the wing sections and the actual twist. No doubt he would be happy to share...

Craig,
Take a look at WWW.compufoil.COM they have a software for wing design. This software have hundreds of profiles, including the Horten flying wing profiles.
You can design the wing at your desired scale, and can obtain help from Eric Sanders, he is a very helpful guy.
Regards,
Javier

I and a buddy of mine build some for RC Combat. They are 1/12 scale replicas +10% as the rules allow. If I remember correctly, we used the same airfoil as the original.
They are cut from about 8 different pieces of foam and will put your foam cutter on overload but the end result is awesome. We used a CNC cutter and the angles were intese to say the least.
Go to the RCCA forum and look up Petr Bachn (sp?) and/or send an email to Terry Harner whos user name is THEND. Tell him NAES referred you and he'll be more than happy to help you out for sure.
Best of luck to you. NAES
