Got styrofoam from kwality products in bangalore
Really cheap in my opinion.
Hotwired it.and made a flying wing fow when i go hiking.
The root cord and tip cord are a simple clark y profile with zero tip twist.

The reason i avoided a upper twist in the tip is that i was hot wiring for the first time and wasnt sure if i could create a symmetric twist on both wing.
If anyone has any Q regarding flying wings. Shoot em to me..will be glad to help...
These are almost as good as traditional tail airplanes to fly . I was very hesitant to make these...glad i did.
P.s glacier footage of yhe himalayas and indrahar pass coming up soon.😎

P.ps styrofoam is a must try if you haven't before...its so much better than depron....best alternative if epp and better foam blocks arent available or are expensive.
Ppps my airplane doesn't need a carbon fibre spar even though yhe wingspan is over a metre and its carrying a cam and a decent sized 3s...

@manoj.
Yes its lightweight.
I tried to keep yhe cord as large as possible.
The auw must be around 400grams..have to measure it though.climbs vertically on a 700g thrust motor...
Have managed to get it in one piece upto indrahar pass almost... should he fun
