Sorry Guys... This Delta has so far been a disappointment...
Too sensitive and a horrid flyer.. broken 2 props already.. Just cannot get it to fly right. Will be replacing the motor with a more powerful one, cutting the ELEVONS smaller.
I think MAKO 3D Delta is much better fun and will be building that soon..
Check it out here;

‘MAKO’ DELTA – 26.5” (673mm) Wingspan x 26” (660mm) Overall Length - Electric Power.
This small electric delta type model uses ‘elevon’ control, i.e. it requires mixing of elevator and aileron channels to provide pitch and roll control, it also uses a separate rudder channel to control yaw.
Finally it uses a motor channel to control speed of electric motor. Hence, a minimum RC system of 4 channels is required!
It is a very simple model to build and capable of virtually any aerobatic manoeuvre, including, 3D stunts, prop hanging, etc. (But are your piloting skills good enough???)
1) Construction Matl: Depron: 6mm thick, (Use 3mm thk for trim, as required).
2) Adhesive: For Depron: Use UHU por, (polystyrene glue) or Epoxy Resin.
3) Motor Mount: Plywood: 55mm dia x 4mm thk min, (I Used: 6mm thk).
4) Wing Spar: Aluminium Channel: 6mm x 6mm x 1mm thk x 600mm lg.
5) Fuselage Stiffeners: Balsa: 10mm x 10mm triangular section, (not really necessary).
6) Electric Motor: A2822-14T, (1450Kv, 150 Watt) Brushless Outrunner Motor.
7) Speed Control: Brushless, (Basic 20A Minimum ESC, 2A BEC, 2-3S LiPo).
Cool Propeller: APC-E, (Electric) 7”x 4”SF, (Slow-Fly) C/W Inserts.
9) Servos (3-Off): EMax ESO8A, (8.5g, 1.8Kg/cm, 4.8V-6.0V, Nylon Geared).
10) Battery (LiPo): 3S LiPo, 25C Min, (3S, 11.1V, 800mAh Min-1800mAh Max).
(I Use: Overlander - 3S, 30C, 1300mAh, 68mmx33mmx20mm).
(This Provides: 10 Minute Flight Time, Leaving 20% Capacity).
11) Centre of Gravity: C of G position - Measure from rear face of motor mount!
(Use: 6.7/8” (175mm), move further back , (i.e. increase this distance) if you desire extreme aerobatics, prop hanging, etc).
