Flying wing fashioned from a $2.00 styro-glider and some spare parts. We surmised that the motor thrust needs to push the nose down. It glides well, but squirrels out while powered.
Horten and Northrop had their hands full.

If you take a $2 styro-glider, some spare parts and enough time to aggravate your wife, this is what can be accomplished. I'll be adding some meat to the ailerons later, but for now I must build the Hornet Mark II.
An idea for a wind marking drone. The design is very cheap, disposable and effective. This is helpful when wind conditions on the ground are different than that at higher altitude.
