WOW... most fun ive ever had with a flying wing. This thing is ultra maneuverable, fast and efficient. Just watch my videos and youll see. Its also hand launchable! I provide a specially designed hand launcher you can hot glue on the bottom that gives a great way to throw it. You can print this on any size printer if you're familiar with slicing parts in half. its designed around a 250/250/250 bed.

I have 3 other Horten wing flying videos on my channel you can also watch. It's virtually the same wing just different intakes and exhaust and canopy.

Pre maiden flight tip!
Trim the elevons slightly up from neutral. Meaning nose pitch up. Try to have someone else throw it for the first hand launch. The Horten will start to pitch down until it gets some airspeed so a little elevator up will work fine. If you must throw it yourself, use 75% throttle and throw 45% up! Throw it hard and get back on the stick
3D printing settings
I always recommend using active foaming LW PLA for the lightest prints
Once you've dialed in your printer:
The Majority of the parts will use
1 Wall
2 top and bottom layers
3% grid infill
hand launcher will require 2 walls and 3% grid
elevons can be printed in 4-5 % grid infill for extra strength.
