I'd guess that this alone wouldn't be a big problem by itself, but the design (and I assume the model also) has low wing loading and low drag, meaning it has low stall speed and is a bitch to slow down in straight-ish line. Not bad things in the air, not fun when landing.

In the usa the skunk works built a full scale replica and radar tested it. Very very small cross section from the fuel tanks and cockpit parts. The first stealth plane.
The first stealth bomber was the De Haviland Mosquito. It had a negligible radar image because of it's wooden construction. They messed it up a bit when they stuck guns and things on it as the original design was unarmed and could fly higher and faster than anything available at the time.
Increible aeronave!!! Muy impresionante!!!! Es dificil de creer que esta aeronave realmente volo y estuvo operativa durante la segunda guerra mundial, pero es la realidad. Una tecnología muy adelantada para la época y los alemanes estaban a la vanguardia. Los aliados solo copiaron esta tecnología

Wondered how practical that aircraft would have been in service. Flying wing designs have very limited cg range. Fore-and-aft balance is touchy. And without a vertical stabilizer directional control is iffy. Especially if one engine flames out.
Computer control is almost mandatory for flying wings. Their advantages include high manoeuvrability, low drag and small cross section for an attacker. The Horten brothers were really ahead of their time, but they produced some beautiful designs, even for their early flying wings.
@@RWBHere The engineers who worked on the YB-49 fixed the stability problems with an electromechanical gyro box that controlled the aircraft. The pilot controls were read as roll rate commands to the gyro system that operated the control surfaces. It was an analog electromechanical PID system and was one of if not the first fly by wire systems.
Wrong, the design is in the wing. Horten brothers originally designed this flying wing as a glider. Read the history on it. Stability wasn't an issue. You can find rc gliders based on this design even today.
You are correct The Protektor! Thank you for the visit to my ScaleJetFred RUclips channel containing 140 mostly RC related video. Sorry for the delayed answer, RUclips hat some Comments hidden for 12 month!! Hoping to see you again and Greetings from Ireland! Fred
Hitler: I'll leave most of my jets as blueprints. Allieds: this strategy will never work" A long time later: ScaleJetFred: Giant "HORTEN" XI Flying Wing Jet

Stop calling it a " Stealth " fighter. Tests conducted on an all wooden replica showed it had 80% of the radar signature of a BF 109. The actual aircraft, with it's steel frame and metal engine cowlings would have had a larger signature. The stealth myth should die. Beautiful model.

@@ScaleJetFred Good afternoon; I'm an Englishman, and am thus proud of our engineering prowess and heritage .. however, having seen how rapidly, astonishingly advanced German aircraft designs were being developed in 1945, I must feel relief that the war ended in that year; had it continued into 1946, I admit to an uncomfortable feeling that matters might have begun to swing back in Germany's favour. I realise that other matters might have come into play had that happened, (Berlin as opposed to Hiroshima might have been the first nuclear victim, for instance), but .. who can say ? .. I'm interested only as one interested in the engineering. Had the war continued, I'd say that we'd have seen British Vampires fighting ME-262 and Horton aircraft - (the centrifugal 'Goblin' jet engine against Jumo-004 axial jets, etc.) I have no idea how THAT might have worked out ! .. (comments most welcome .. please discuss; I'll bookmark this & check back in a month or so.) .. Regards, Mr.Swann, Devon, England.

Best Jet Ever flew ... quite a while ago ... 1944.
Hi espacesX! Thanks for watching and the comment.
My "ScaleJetFred" channel has 150 videos, many about RC Scale flying.
Greetings from Ireland, Fred
@@ScaleJetFred next Project ... SAAB Gripen E and Gripen F... best Jet in Service.
I take it this model had no way to steer the front wheel.
indeed and thanks for the visit to my ScaleJetFred channel with 150 videos!

I find it interesting that the plane lifts off main gear first, and then the nose wheel. It has to be a real pain to land.
Nothing is perfect Dan, it is after all a scaled down version of a plane being still developed.
Go directly to my RUclips channel clicking on the picture beside of my answer, may be you find other videos of interest to you among my 135 posts.

I'd guess that this alone wouldn't be a big problem by itself, but the design (and I assume the model also) has low wing loading and low drag, meaning it has low stall speed and is a bitch to slow down in straight-ish line. Not bad things in the air, not fun when landing.
I'd love to know how well it can glide?
Hello 38dragon38 and thank you for your visit and question:
This plane was based on a Glider originally. It certainly can glide well!

Вы сами строили или заказали модель?
This is not made from a comercial kit. It is a single made model by a Dutch team.

Always asked for myself when i saw him: How do he will land? He does'nt have a Tail, so he cannot rotate without changing a horisontal angle. Well, look's like he is so heavy, that he don't need to do this trick on War Thunder (Yea, i talking about WT's Horten), anyways - Thanks for "answer" :D
Actually, the horten has yaw control with a set of airbreaks on the tips of the wings.

@@ScaleJetFred To cut in on these comments: the Horten prototype relied on 'spoilers' on the wings to provide directional stability/control: was it possible to reproduce these accurately to scale on the model ?
@@None-zc5vg No Anon, and thanks for clarifying it.

Wow what a build. Early version of stealth indeed. I wonder how it was with radar.
I find no record of Radar testing. During a flight a maximum speed of 497 mph and maximum hight of 52500 ft was acheived.

In the usa the skunk works built a full scale replica and radar tested it. Very very small cross section from the fuel tanks and cockpit parts. The first stealth plane.
@@Anmeteor9663 It was not stealth. It was not small- it was just smaller than that of a Messerschmitt _Me 109._
The first stealth bomber was the De Haviland Mosquito. It had a negligible radar image because of it's wooden construction. They messed it up a bit when they stuck guns and things on it as the original design was unarmed and could fly higher and faster than anything available at the time.
Look, flies just fine without the dumb tubes.
You are realy interested - I am happy to have recorded this model.
Thaks agai for your comments,
Fred
Increible aeronave!!! Muy impresionante!!!! Es dificil de creer que esta aeronave realmente volo y estuvo operativa durante la segunda guerra mundial, pero es la realidad. Una tecnología muy adelantada para la época y los alemanes estaban a la vanguardia. Los aliados solo copiaron esta tecnología
Thank you for visiting "ScaleJetFred" with 150 videos

Beautiful plane does it have a steerable nose wheel servo installed ?
Hi wildcardjoker, thank you for watching one of my videos. The nosewheel is a swivel, free moving arrangemen. Steering is by breaks on the main wheels.

Because I am not the builder, only the recorder I cant help.
However, you are of cause correct with your observation.
AS this video was recorded many years ago I have no contact info to the team flying this nice Horten.

Wondered how practical that aircraft would have been in service.
Flying wing designs have very limited cg range. Fore-and-aft balance is touchy. And without a vertical stabilizer directional control is iffy. Especially if one engine flames out.
Computer control is almost mandatory for flying wings. Their advantages include high manoeuvrability, low drag and small cross section for an attacker. The Horten brothers were really ahead of their time, but they produced some beautiful designs, even for their early flying wings.
@@RWBHere The engineers who worked on the YB-49 fixed the stability problems with an electromechanical gyro box that controlled the aircraft. The pilot controls were read as roll rate commands to the gyro system that operated the control surfaces. It was an analog electromechanical PID system and was one of if not the first fly by wire systems.
Wrong, the design is in the wing. Horten brothers originally designed this flying wing as a glider. Read the history on it. Stability wasn't an issue. You can find rc gliders based on this design even today.
You are correct The Protektor!

Hitler: I'll leave most of my jets as blueprints.
Allieds: this strategy will never work"
A long time later:
ScaleJetFred: Giant "HORTEN" XI Flying Wing Jet
The model flew well and according to the team it was stable and easy to control>
Thanks for your comment and question.

@@ScaleJetFred thanks Fred you too dude
Stop calling it a " Stealth " fighter. Tests conducted on an all wooden replica showed it had 80% of the radar signature of a BF 109. The actual aircraft, with it's steel frame and metal engine cowlings would have had a larger signature. The stealth myth should die. Beautiful model.
Done!!!

Thats not a giant model
2002 when I recorded this, it was a Giant model in Europe Jimmy.
Thank you for watching from where ever you are!
By the way, I am flying a Cmelak crop duster with a Moki since 1998. Then, it was the largest in Ireland!!! To day it is being overtaken by !/2 Scale models...
So what! Any plane near 25KG weight is very large or as the amerikan say: Giant.

@@ScaleJetFred Good afternoon; I'm an Englishman, and am thus proud of our engineering prowess and heritage .. however, having seen how rapidly, astonishingly advanced German aircraft designs were being developed in 1945, I must feel relief that the war ended in that year; had it continued into 1946, I admit to an uncomfortable feeling that matters might have begun to swing back in Germany's favour. I realise that other matters might have come into play had that happened, (Berlin as opposed to Hiroshima might have been the first nuclear victim, for instance), but .. who can say ? .. I'm interested only as one interested in the engineering. Had the war continued, I'd say that we'd have seen British Vampires fighting ME-262 and Horton aircraft - (the centrifugal 'Goblin' jet engine against Jumo-004 axial jets, etc.) I have no idea how THAT might have worked out ! .. (comments most welcome .. please discuss; I'll bookmark this & check back in a month or so.) .. Regards, Mr.Swann, Devon, England.
If the Nazis would’ve had these in great numbers we would’ve been screwed
