Title: For you Horten fans
Post by: Reaper90 on October 02, 2012, 05:48:53 PM

German websites, found this on another aviation forum I frequent....

2nd link is google translate

Absolutely beautiful recreation of the Horten IV glider

translated (http://translate.google.com/translate?langpair=auto|en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fholzleicht-flugzeugbau.de%2FHeuser_Dateien%2FH-IV%2FPrj_H-IV.html)

Not 100% sure if this is to be a flying replica or a museum piece, sure seems to be a lot of attention to detail for something not intended to actually fly.

What artwork.... craftsmanship to a whole new level.

Thank you, Sir Snail.

I was pretty sure, based on the construction, that it was meant to be functional.

The translated website was difficult to follow in some places....

to learn German, if not to speak but only to be able to read German... on my short list of thing to do before I kick off one last time.
