Delta
I'm thinking of starting a new plane.
I am looking for a Delta wing. I would like one in the 40 - 60 size. I looked on RCU and have seen some but would like to get a pusher type. All the ones I see have the engine mounted on the nose. Landing gear would be nice, retracts even better. But I could modify the plane for retracts if it's large enough.
Thanks for the input.

RE: Delta
Check out Balsa Usa's Enforcer. Its a 60 size pusher looks like my next delta. I currenly fly the Delta Vortex by Bruce Tharpe.

RE: Delta
How about some serious 'kit bashing' starting with the BTE Delta Vortex? Or, you may want to design it yourself and then build it. I did that for my first deltas, using the Balsa USA Notrhstar wing planform as the starting point.

RE: Delta
I saw a pic of the Vortex with retracts. That is a nice looking plane with the wheels up.
One of the guys in my club has an Enforcer that he uses to float fly.
I guess I don't have to have a pusher. I was told it would limit my options due to the low number of pusher props made these days. So I may just go with the Vortex and mod it for those retracts.
Thanks guys.
