Default RE: Delta Vortex

Well, I got two maiden flights in today on the delta....it was a kick. [sm=thumbup.gif]

The delta really loses altitude in the turns because of lack of fuselage (I guess)
and it was a bit "different" in flight....the landings were perfect. The thing glides
in and slows perfectly, touching on the mains nose high. I didn't try the air brakes,
I think they are cool....but that's about it. The nose wheel was coming loose and
changing adjustment....I have to grind a flat on the shaft. Other than that, no worries.

I'm going to prop it down a notch too....the engine isn't completely happy yet
and it doesn't need all the speed it has on tap. All in all, the plane is a success
and a worthwhile dive into the World of Delta's.

FBD.
