Bruce,
Thank you everyone for the wonderful feedback.

8-10 deg AOA is awful conservative, I am currently flying several pusher configurations that have to be close to 40+ degrees… granted they have extremely large elevons (oversize) & to achieve these high AOA's requires some power & control finesse. If it's windy that always helps to…


From first hand experience (as you stated), I know delta wings have the ability to achieve extremely high AOA's (greater than 45 deg) with the proper application of power and control so my question is a valid one.
