I've seen an electric powered flying wing at a forgotton online store. This
model is a copy of a privately funded project of a real aircraft. Does
anyone know what this aircraft is called?

You don't give us much to go on :)
The arch-typical R/C flying wing is the Zagi, with it's myriad
versions and scores of clones (many of which are better than the
originals.) Generally they fly ok, but their real claim to fame is
their indestructability.
The B-2 Bomber is probably the most famous flying wing, though it's
certainly not privately funded. There have been a few R/C planes made
to look like one, perhaps that's it? I've also heard of scale models
of the B-49 and YB-49, but I don't know if that's what you're talking
about either.
(If you're not familiar with these planes, google for them and find
pictures. Or just google for "flying wing" -- you'll find lots. The
google image search may help as well.)
One such model is the 'Slinger' by Great planes. Based on the B2. I have one
myself, flies well but I was not too impressed with the covering over the foam.

The Klingberg Wing was a hang glider. I had the kit and it showed the full
size version on the box.
However, it's no longer being produced. There was also an "RC Ultra Light"
kit that was a frame and seat under a V-shaped wing.
