Hi Keith,
Yes, they can roll and loop. The Horten II was in the 1930's often used for aerobatic-demonstrations. My little Horten XII (You've seen it on the airfield, when we meat the first time) is also able to do it. I tried it when the plane was high in the air, because I am a bad pilot. But it works.
With my Probe1 I made loopings sucsessfull. But the problem with those "high aspect ratio" planes is, that they are often not strong enaugh.
If You are interested I could make a litle building-picture-thread of the newest IG-Horten-projekt. It will be the Horten XIV. This was a never flown Clubglider designed in beginning 1945 by Reimar Horten. I build it in plywood.
Well Allan,
I always felt, that modelling has to do with miniaturizing...... That's wrong I believe :wink:

Yes, that’s a good idea Lothar. Show us all how you make these wonderful flying machines. :)
And while you’re using your camera, take some pictures of your working area / workshop and post them on this forum in the section: Techniques > Misc > I’ll show you mine…If you show me yours!
I want to see if you are a tidy worker, like Vincent .....or an untidy worker like Fred :(
By the way, Joe has an enormous one (Workshop) but he is too embarrassed to show it because it's even more untidy than Fred's :D :D
(Come on Joe, post some pictures of your workshop. We could all do with a laugh! :lol: )

Well after looking again on the Austrain Elefant of M. Frey, I immediately decided to build my next glider in a 1:0.5 scale :wink:
