<frown> At least you wrote the nice, illustrated, story still. And the motor, prop and servos look still in fine shape. I get the impression you won't be rebuilding her though.

Yeh, all the bits are fine. I cut off the broken part and nailed the rest
to my workbench this afternoon and ran a tank of fuel through the engine. There appears to be a problem -- maybe with the tank? When you throw open
the throttle, bubbles form in the fuel line. When they hit the carb, the engine splutters. That's probably what was causing the loses of power at
the field

:-) No. This is a glimpse of what I'm working on right now:

I'd build a "proper" delta, though. I want one with rudders, retractable landing gear and a steerable nosewheel. Oh, and maybe some sort of 'skeg' system that folded down when the gear folded up?

:( Too bad she didn't fly, atleast you got some good experience out of it!
