After putting on hold the construction of my conventional design (its hanging from the roof in my workshop) i feel again called by the project i should have chosen from the beginning. I am talking about the Verhees Delta. I think i will buy myself the plans for christmas and redesign it in cad.
The beauty lies in the simplicity of construction in case composites are used and its cleaness.
Whats your opinion on the new 2 seater version? Dont you think it has lost the sexappeal? Aerodynamically it has lost his effciency with such a wide cabin upper body.

Regarding the one seater, it used significant reflex of ailerons. Would anybody suggest alternatives to reflex that acchieve the same effect? Would wing twist be equivalent?
Anybody could comment the aerodynamic side effect of the cabin transitioning into the fin starting at the thickest section of the wing profile. Any suggestion to improve the bird aerodynamically?
Could you think of some device to reduce landing speed (leading edge flaps?) effective on deltas2 seater.jpg Delta-1-fotoshoot.jpg ?
I will redesign it adapted to composites.
