Default Indiana Jones flying wing…

Anyone designed or built a flying model of the fictitious flying wing from the movie Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark? I found these pics, some from the movie, others from the show at MGM in Florida which is slightly different style, similar concept. Would make neat novelty plane.


Movie version;







MGM version;

I had never even considered it... until now!

I am not a scratchbuilder though so I don't reckon I'm up to the challenge. I would sure love to see, and get to fly, one though!

I know that I have seen someone try that...maybe at RCG a few years ago. I am thinking the builder wanted to offer it as a kit....also there was some issue with the wing design. I'll look there, as I am sure it is in my favorites.

You would be the envy of your peers if you had one!
