The Delta Has Flown

Just wanted to let you know the Delta has flown.I built it as a tail dragger in the end. I think it will cope better with our rough patch. I maidened it on Sunday. I fitted it with a Thunder Tiger GP25 I had knocking around. It flew very well. I needed to increase the reflex on the elevons after the first flight (needed a lot of up trim!). The next flight was extremely good. Slow speed handling is excellent barely any stall. It just sort of mushes along rocking the wings. It flies better than I thought on the 25, struggles to get off our soggy long grass at the moment but would be fine on short dry grass. I think I may go up to a mid 30 size engine to give it more vertical oomph.

Thanks for supplying me with a truely stunning set of wings.
