Some time back someone asked why deltas always had the pointy end at the front.
So I ginned up this thing... (chuck glider shown)
The r/c version has sufficient wing area to be useful as a glider, but I'm dreading the toss-slide-down- the- slope-puff-back-up-the-slope-fix-toss routine of finding the proper c.g., and whether the odd placement of the elevators gives them any control at all. And the bending of the axles for the tiperons....
