Default Norvel .061 Delta flies great!

I bought an unknown type of delta at a swap meet last year and finally got around to flying it. I put a Norvel AME .061 CL engine on it with two Pico servos, a GWS Pico reciever, and 300mah Nimh pack. The fuel tank is a syringe with the plunger handle removed so it's about .5 to .75 ounces. All up weight is 8oz. Wingspan is 22", length 14.5". This little thing really moves out. It takes off from my hand like it was shot out of a slingshot and rolls about 5 times per second on high rate. It rolls way too fast to follow the rolls, but it is really fun. I used 60% expo on all rates. Most guys think it's probably doing over 100mph but at it's small size it looks even faster than that. I am running a 5.5 x 4 MA prop and 15% nitro but I don't know my RPM. I guess about 18K.
