A 2-Skewer Delta Kite

by Justin
(Surrey, UK)

Thank you for your nice design.

Back from a holiday in France. The best piece of plastic was an old Auchan supermarket bag, which was just big enough for an 80% scale 2 skewer Delta!

It flies perfectly, no trimming, just floats up in a 5MPH breeze. Really stable without a tail, and it has yet to point in any direction except upwards!

Above ~ 5MPH it gets a sort of pitch oscillation. Probably that's the airframe bending and recovering.

Very pleased for 40 minutes work :)
