Manuel:
No problem with honeycomb, landing gear or their mounting points. Their are no full flying stabs so honeycomb material is a non-issue (honeycomb actually helps greatly with the weight of the aircraft).
I have landed it too nose high (like the Eurosport) and have scrapped the dorsal fins on the rear. I need to get used to landing it a little flatter (lower AoA).
All in all I'm happy with the aircraft. I plan on adding navigation lights and parachute when FEJ sends them to me.....

Hi Nick
Let me ask you a question regarding ailerons. I have just built a J-10 and I'm doing the finish now. FEJ recommends 35mm up and down elevator and 15mm for the aileron. As mentioned in the thread above, are you flying aileron at high rate 40% at FEJ recommendation means 6mm up and down movement, or 30% with 4.5mm up and down movement?
Eventually, FEJ recommended other control throws earlier. And have you had other successful flights?
I know from other deltas like Mirage 2000 that those kind of jets are very agile.
Thanks a lot in advance for help I highly appreciate.
Cheers,
Manuel
