Good Morning

Here is a hotliner.. but in the shape of a delta.
The thought was to have the max wing area with the lowest skin fiction and profile drag.. induced drag compromised  :( .

Composite construction (foam, glass & carbon fiber)and vacuum bagged. Airfoil is PW51 and with a 1.5 degree washout at tip. It has live hinges incorporated in the glass fiber skin and elevon and push rod gaps/holes are sealed with mylar to reduce drag. It has 3D printed undercarriage (mono wheel), canopy and chin and cowl.

A very .. very fast plane, but rock steady . I had to incorporate airbrakes to slow it down, specially for landings where we fly.... It looks good and flies good, a performance plane but requires good flying skills.

happy flying

Sudden roll at 20sec took me by surprise  ;D
Speed is evident only when trees flash past!
Good stuff.
