Default Horton rib set



I have a set of laser cut ply ribs for a large glider
If there is any interest I will post more pics.
You can tell by the root ribs this will be a large glider
I don't have much info on this glider, The owner passed away
Vern Hunt used to publish here often.

The small ribs have aileron ribs attached.
I did not show what I think is the elevator ribs.
Also included is a blue tint canopy.
As I was saying this will make a LARGE glider.
I don't know what horton model these are for but I remember seeing pics of a model with a lot of sweep
The shipping label is the seller/ maker
The ribs have a flat section meant for building on a flat table, so the wash out is built in

Nice toes! Is that a Horten flying wing or a kit made by Horton?

There's a thread detailing the model over on the other forum that Vern used to frequent.

pm sent with the details Dennis as I can't post links.
