I'm sorry to say, Bill, that my
development on the Delta has gone as far as I'm going to take it.
The extra training requirements, mixed with a change in mission,
mixed with some medical issue just makes it pointless. I'll be
looking for something that is LSA compliant, or nothing at all.

Ernest,
I suggest you get
the Delta flying with
the rotary. You are very close…don’t give up now!
Later if you
want you can trade the Delta for another flying plane.
Remember, if you can
afford a plane, you can afford a plane! :>)

Atkins
is
advertising 220lbs without radiators, and has a dyno
sheet showing 90hp at
6500rpm.
I'm
selling
my rotary equipped Dyke Delta, and thinking about
maybe a Zenith Zodiac
650B. It needs 80hp to 100hp. I'm also considering
a Corvair
engine, which may give me a little more power and a
little less weight for
about the same money (I know. That makes me a
heretic), except that I
could reuse a lot of the parts off my Delta's
installation if I sale the
airframe without the engine.
What
do you guys
(and gals) think?
