GoldGuy's Slofly Simple Delta

Looks like a nice slow-flyer to build for beginners.  Based on the late Dekan's Simple Delta.

GoldGuy Says:

Twenty more square inches than my first 22 incher and one ounce lighter for a loading of 3 ounce per square feet at a 6 ounce RTF weight. It's a 8X22X17 with the elevon hinge line at 3 1/2 incher. Start off with the CG at 5 1/2" and then fine tune to taste.

Take your SD to the next level, the SSD will loop, roll, spin, snap, stall turns, harrier, prop hang, torque roll and flies inverted on rails, all this and no pitch sensitivity at any speed. Oh ya, and crazy climbing inverted flat spins the guys call 'the Dilbert' (?????).

Build it light, keep it tight.............

Here's the Simple Delta.  Details here, here, here, and here.

WS is 20"

LE is 7" long

LE to TE (hinge line) is 14.25"

Elevons are 2" wide

Fus is 8.5x1.75"

Try 5" as a CG start point from LE, mine works ok at 6" 

The Fin is 5" tall by 10.5" long.The Fin proper starts 8" from it's front and slopes back 2.5"

There are 3mmx.5mm CF flats on the leading edges....prevents damage from weeds!

There is also a 3mmx.5mm CF spar
