Brilliant Delta plane

Dec 28, 2016

Bought this plane in EU warehouse. Look stunning, build finish is incredible, even more so if you look at the price. I added 2 little digital servos, a 30A Aerostar ESC and a used RadJet 800 motor (1950kV). I fly it on an A-spec 3S-200mAh and only needed to glue in some lead pallets in the nose to get correct (150mm) CG. Only thing I changed from standard was to glue on a littel stronger (thicker) motor mounting plate. The angle of the standard engine plate is spot on, correctly compensating for motor torque.
A tip to launch this plane: Just give it a little over 50% throttle and gently hand-launch it flat. Give it a little right-aileron and a bit of up and off she goes. Biggest mistake one can make is to give it full throttle right away so it will torque upside down. It flies absolutely GREAT and SNAPPY. It glides very gently on landings, leaning it out in a high-alpha just before touchdown.
RECOMMENDED, but only for an intermediate experienced pilot.

This little flying wing is great here is some building tips i found useful. I haven't flown it yet so i will give a flying review after i fly it however i am confident things will go well! Go with the instructions all the way real simple, one thing you might want to do is strengthen up the motor mount although its pushing so the force is forward. it depends on the size of the motor you choose. Next, there is no air flow to keep things coll so at back end of cowl you see a half circle at that location on the fuselage cut a hole as large as you can to match thee half circle that's on the canopy this hole will be bigger then the small holes back at motor mounting...dont worry how small they are because the large hole in front with small hols in back will cause a suction...now make sure that the plastic canopy that is already installed check the front and there should be a gap right in the bottom front, just a bad line up However it makes for a great air entree from there to the hole you made right across the battery and ESC and RX and out the back! Use a wooden dowel jig to place the fins at the right degree, 200 between the two fins and i found that 24 mm from fin to edge of wing keeps everything in proportion. the bottom skids needs to be timed because look inside and you will see part of the frame in the way. I used a 350 watt hobby king 2600kv motor so it needed a 55 amp ESC
