Flat plate Delta idea
Hey guys,
I've been planning on making a 4mm flat coro delta, same size as a DD but with absoultely no airfoil, just 4mm coro strengthened with carbon fiber rods. I'm going to CA 3/16" carbon fiber rods to the leading edges, and insert a carbon fiber rod in the trailing edge just before the elevons, then a small one across the wing at about the CG. I'm going to give it a wood mount and spine like a PBF, and put an OS46DV-F RE with pipe on it and 9x8 APC prop. I figure the minimal frontal area will let this thing really wind up, but I wonder whether it will hold together above 150mph? I should probably add carbon fiber rods in the elevons too, inside the flutes at the trailing edges there. Whadda ya think? Is this thing going to be stable at speed? -Tom
