Is this thread a troll?
It is not whether it will fly, but how many feet from the thing goes before it turns into an RC plow. If launched horizontally or anywhere near, my guess is 20 feet. If vertically, I am guessing 50 feet before it lands on some poor sap's melon, most likely the guy holding the transmitter. I have owned bigger test stands.

What Cartman isnt telling you, is he has personal experiance, this was his first combat delta, and you can see it has far more wing span than your... thing.
the TR was bad, but it flew far enough to get out of range of the INDOOR RX!!!!!!!! and crash on the edge of north cliffs.

well i flew it, if you want to call it that....
first flight....9x8 prop had the first flight jitters so i gave her 1/3 throttle until i felt it try to pull from my hand and i let here go, 6 revolutions per second crash
second flight....10x3 prop, flew a little longer i think this flight made it about 15 feet and crash
third flight....10x3 prop, full throttle and give her a whip, this was by far the longest flight measuring at 26 feet. crash
broke 6 props and my clunk came off so i gave up, i have destroyed the plane before it fell into enemy hands
well gentlemen, i made the attempt and now it's time to move on, so i'm going a little bigger...something like the flying delta that cab summited to us....only a couple little cosmetic tweeks and just a tad smaller. thanks guys for your inputs

thats more like it.
make sure the fins are going to be big enough.
youll love it, watch the glide though- if you get a dead stick get the nose down straight away-they dont glide well.
are you going to put the plastic drainpipe on it?-it will make it go faster.
