I also have the plans.  Visited with the designer at his home in 1975 as I
was leaving the USAF F-4 fleet behind, but never had the guts to start
welding.  Then the RV series came along, and I succumbed.

Well done. And a dyke Delta too.

I have a set of plans for that and I welded a bunch on one, but I
chickened out on building one. Saw the original and one from Canada a few
times.
    
There are actually a several more Delta builders with rotaries monitoring this list:

Kelly Troyer (who is perpetually close to "fixin' to get ready to finish that darn thing" 8*)
Jim Maher (who has flown, but had to rebuild his fuel tank)
Larry LaBeau (who's in the "kick the tires and light the fires" stage)

I'm just an ol' copycat 8*)

As for building a Delta, there are only two types of people who start building a Delta.  Those who haven't a clue about what they're getting themselves into, and masochist.  I was of the former group.  By the time I figured out how much I had bitten off, I was to far in to back out.  I now consider that a good thing, because you couldn't pay me to stop now.
