Default Delta plans uploaded!

Ok, it's not test flown yet, but I'm pretty confident. It should be able to take a Surestart w/standoffs, Blackwidow, TD's and Norvels. It's been kinda slow around here lately. Sure hope this sparks some ideas! I'm pretty sure that it's gonna come out at less than 7oz.

It hasn't been named yet either, but I was considering "SMS" if it's fast enough... (that's Satan's Messenger Service)

My web page will be modified after it flies.

I put 1/8" square on both sides and sanded them down to look like tri-stock. Glue it down even with the TE on the centerline. I thought you weren't gonna build one?

BTW -- I've been staring at the taped togeher plans for the Das Not Ugly for a couple of days now. Thanks for making the plans available. I'm trying to decide if I can actually do this........

If I decide to go ahead, do you entertain questions somehow??

Absolutely. Start a thread for all of us to enjoy! *WARNING* you are entering a very addictive segment of the hobby. I don't doubt for one second that you can do it. And it doesn't really take that long to build it. I generally enjoy the building process very slowly. (My grandad use to say I (expletive deleted) around too much.)

Thank you! I think once I decide to do this, I'll get with you and pay for the real plans through PayPal.....

Looks interesting - Any chance of an AutoCAD version of the file (if that was the program you did it in)? I can never get PDF's to print the right size. When I tried printing on 8.5x11, it turned out too small.

Chris, set your margins as small as possible and under the print menu in Acrobat, check the page scaling and make sure it's set to none.

Thanks, finally got it to print OK. Looking forward to building it, hopefully be able to make some time soon. My first undersized printout would be a good size for .010 or .020 I think!
