1st Flight of my 3 meter (10 feet or 120 inch) wingspan scratch built flying wing "GigAile", slope soaring at Villerest. The wing is designed and built by me and made from Polystyrene (cut with a hot wire) and covered with fiberglass reinforced tape and flastic film.
The wing can be disassembled into 3 equally sized parts for easy transportation.
The profile used is HS522.
Center rib length is 60cm, tips 20cm.
V-swing is such that the total length of the wing is 90cm
It also has a controllable nose hook fitted so it can be air-towed by another plane.
Total weight is about 2.5Kg
There is no wing twist, hence the winglets
