OK, this is technically a .15 delta and I think it is an all around better design [than the Home Plate style deltas] for low thrust hand launches and ease of control while doing a gentle Speed Pattern.
I can't say which layout is ultimately faster.
It's got the low CG and built in hand grip for launching.
30" x 11" at the root, 4" at the tips for about 225 sq inches and it weighs about 23-24 ozs RTF.
When you lift it by a wing tip, you'll say "That's a heavy little pig..!"
I've never played rough with it to see how fast it can roll, snap roll, etc. It's just to see how fast the Zalp .15 can make it go.
