Time to start!

Ok, is now time to start with my first post.
I just want to share my favourite design. I called it Dream, and it is a foot launchable tailless glider.
The image above is self explanatory. The idea is to reduce the structural components to the minimum, but still keeping a fuselage pod assuring a good streamlining.
I always like to quote the sentence below, coming from a well known dreamer, Anoine de Saint-Exupery:

It seems that the perfection is attained 
not when there is no more to be added,
but when there is nothing more to be deleted.
At the end of this evolution,
                                                   the machine effaces itself....

    Hello, your dream is incredibly like mine!

    I have spent a lot of time searching for information regarding the construction of flying wing,'m glider and paraglider pilot in passdo also build rc models, today I want to fly on my own wings.

    My idea is to build something based on the concept Horten, have researched something about Swift, Millennium, Millennium-CF, Impact, Flair30, Mitchell, Utopia, etc. wings.
    I want to build something for flight choline and is easy to transport, want to do something in wood.

    Congratulations and good flights
