First flight of my latest creation, a 3.6 metre Delta. I built it to fly in very light winds, and to collapse down to 80cm length if needed.

This flight was in 2mph on the ground, which rose to around 6mph. In these winds it has a steep flying angle, enabling me to walk it quite close to obstacles, e.g. between trees and bushes, without problems.

I tried it with the autokap and it seems perfect:- not quite as stable as the Dopero, but not far off. It is certainly quick to assemble when not fully collapsed.

The day was very foggy, and I forgot to set the infinity focus in teh camera, so the KAP photos weren't worth saving!

Same colours as usual!
