Most of you have seen the large .91 powered delta I fly. I took it a step further and made one a turbine powered canard configured jet. The pictures show the sequence, sort of, as it was being built. The fuselage is about eight pounds empty, so should be about sixteen pounds ready to fly. The turbine is rated at fourteen pounds....should have adequate thrust for vertical performance. The canard is one third the size of the wing with the same sweep back angle. The canard elevator should enhance the elevons and provide high AOA landings...that's the plan. The CG was moved up four inches because of the canard. Two 24oz. Tanks are imbedded in the wing. A 4 oz. Hopper tankis located in the fuselage. The wing is sheeted with 3/32 balsa. A second spar was added for strength. A fun project that was easy to do.
