Top pic, several members are looking at a Velkom DC-3 designed for Speed 600 motors. Joe had several questions about the kit, since it didn't come with plans or instructions. It is

Delta UPDATE: plane rating-MiniDelta 2000... MIni-Delta 2000, NO STARS.
The Mini-Delta 2000 is from Windsock Models of the UK. Delta wing WS 38", length about same. The CG location is so far off (more than 3" !!) that plane is unflyable unless you like major repairs after every attempt. Ship this one.
