One other thing I should have mentioned. To fly this you will need a
2.4GHz Spektrum or compatible radio, just 3 channel.

Hi All,
This a repeat of an email I sent out a few minutes ago, without all of
the attached files, just in case some of you did not receive it because
of the total attachments size.
At our membership meeting last Sunday, we suggested that the workshop
date we have planned for the morning of February 10, 2019 could be a
build of an 18" foam delta (Rick's Delta) that is regularly flown
indoors by the Brant Flyers and some of our own members.
Attached are a sketch, photo and video of this delta. I can personally
vouch that this little foam delta is an absolute blast to fly. It is
also quite durable and easy to repair. Although I have only flown it
indoors, I see no reason why it would not also fly well outside on a
relatively calm day.
We have received a quote from Paris Junction Hobbies for a group buy
(minimum 8) of the electronics for this delta of $53. The cost of the
foam is ~$2. So the total cost of the plane inc. HST would be less than $65.
Note that if interested in building and committing to this, it would not
be essential to attend the workshop. There will be plenty of advice
available if needed to complete it.
If you are interested in this build and prepared to commit ~$65 to it,
please confirm by return email before Friday December 14th. The reason
for the relatively quick reply is to ensure obtaining the electronics
prior to February 10th.
Thanks, Andy
