Well, here we go with the next project. Alexander Lippisch was a devotee of flying wings and maybe best known as the designer on the ME 163 rocket fighter but earlier in his career, he experimented with gliders and a powered glider, the Storch 5. This is the model I have decided to build at 40% scale. The size was determined by the need for it to break down into small enough pieces to fit in a box that can be carried on an airliner as normal luggage.
The model will feature a "scale" form of construction as far as possible.
Work starts with drawing up the model in CAD
