Default RE: Dalotel By 1 of our own

Hi David,
what are the origins of your Dalotel? The original, full-sized version has more span than length. Hanno was limited in his modifications by the %10 rule of the TOC (and I think was disqualified at one TOC by the %10 rule). Dick Hanson's Dalotels weren't really scale, just looked like a Dalotel, but the fuselage was stretched. His last Dalotel kit was all wood with a length of 72". The prototype was powered by a ST2300 back when Dick was still playing with them. Dick's original 60 size Dalotel flew very nicely (at least in Chip's very capable hands).
Nice looking Dalotel, by the way.
