Here's Bruce with his pride and joy. Gives you a good perspective on the size of this model. It's bigger than any sport delta wing on the market. With nearly 1400 square inches of wing area, the wing loading works out to be about 12 or 13 oz/sq. in. which is far less than many trainers!

BRUCE'S
TIP:
I consider the DV to be a simple, well-proven, super-flying delta wing design. To my thinking, that makes it a great candidate for you creative types out there to use as the basis for modification and experimentation. You might want to add a bubble canopy or wingtip rockets (nonfunctional, of course!) There's lot's of room for retracts. I've even seen it converted into a float plane, and one guy totally modified it into a flying boat. I love it!
