NorthropN9M

My Feedback: (1)

I appreciate the encouragement. This is the 4th pure flying wing (pure = no vertical surfaces) I have built since last December. While I used John K. Northrop's patents to design these planes, there was quite a bit of "try and die" experimentation involved. What I have now is a pure flying wing that can be flown within the confines of a 600 foot x 300 foot field. There is plenty of lift for a normal person to hand launch this plane and have plenty of time to hit the throttle before it gently glides to the ground.

I built this particular wing so I could fly it at a local field, less than 1/4 mile from my home. Electric power allows me to spend more time flying and less time preparing to fly. Maximum stick time per flying session.

Now we are working on wing number 5....the 14 footer, twin engine glow.
