Alistair
and stepson Adrian are the DV's biggest fans
down under. They have built and flown at least two of them.
Gotta
love that flying site!
"Dear Bruce,
"WOW!! What an aeroplane, we could not believe it - it
doesn't
just take off it BLASTS off with an OS 91FX... Thanks so much for all
your help and patience. We are just getting our heart rates back to
near normal, it was just that exciting. We had about six flights over
the weekend and had one dead stick when the
exhaust came off - only lost a nut. Adrian landed her beautifully.
"We are just getting the hang of the Delta "thing". On
approach I found I tightened up a turn at low speed and sort
of stalled, lost aileron response, then realised that the power
drags you out of trouble. We are going to get the rudder "brakes" going
soon.
"Anyway Bruce you are a Rutan of the model scene, just great.
Am sending some more shots which you are welcome to use if you wish...
