Hi,

Are you the RCTrasher from youtube? Anyway,
I also build this wing, Made from 5mm depron and pink foam. maiden will come soon.
I already did some glide tests, I think it will fly like a dream!

I like the color! Just kidding... Nice plane! Keep us posted!

Hey guys, finally got a chance to maiden this and it flies awesome. It could be a little faster. I want to build a bigger version with a 40" wingspan or so to carry the gopro. I reccomend this to anyone who has never built a plane before, or anyone who wants an amazing delta.

I'm want to build wing something like swift and i have question how many degrees must be in the front? And what difference will it if i put normally propeller instead of pusher prop?

The problem with the pusher prop isn´t that dramatic.

Just use a flipped normal one and go with that. I do it that way and my wing goes vertical.
Pusher props are just more expensive (in my eyes) for a little more efficiency.

There's no reason why you couldn't put the motor and prop on the front. I think people always put it on the back because of the flight characteristics of most wings. It's very easy to nose dive them.

Kind of late but here is a good cg calculator for deltas
