Thanks buddy. I posted an article on it waiting to get posted. I'm making a new one right now with fan fold and mid mount motor I like pullers better then pusher.. Give it a try its worth it very fun to fly and slow fly is awesome with the tail section on there.

I have been looking for a sloooooow flying delta pusher such as the one you designed. I like the slow one and would like to know if the 24 gram motor is alright to use for the slower version?

I built the tractor version of this, and it is the nicest flying scratch build I've ever made, and I'm at over 15 planes. WELL DONE! Not surprising considering all the prototypes you made.

I did a write-up on my blog:

Thank you SO MUCH for this excellent design. This has to be the most underrated video on Flitetest. 5 stars! Wish I could give it 6!
