Playing with the idea of constructing a 1/4 scale glider model of the german WW2 glide bomb the BV-246, in theory it looks possible but I cant find a reference to the aerofoil section used for the wing.
The wing design was a high aspect ratio steel mesh structure coated in concrete, not what you would expect to find and not one I will be emulating as I will probably use carbon re-enforced foam with a veneer skin, the original aerofoil section gave the BV-246 a 1:25 glide ratio which is pretty good,
best regards, Terry
