Hi Bob,

That`s a busy workshop you have there! In my experience, the CG position is most important. I had not flown a delta prior to this and was keen that the CG would not be rearward. As it worked out, too far forward was pretty exciting too. Anything less than about 7/8 full power and it was in a shallow dive, even with up elevator!

For he first landing I did a flatout low approach and just cut the throttle. It must have skidded for about 100yards along the deck but luckily nothing came apart!

With the CG on the spot shown it is quite OK.

On the covering. For anyone out there about to build one of these, note that Bob has the fuselage covered already. This seems to be the better way to go. I did the same and pleased I did - it seems to be the easier sequence than wings first.

Good luck with your project.

Alan W
