The first delta wing I ever made and flew was a 3D printed version from a creator I found on thingiverse, a website for sharing 3D models. As a delta wing, this meant the entire body of the plane was able to produce lift. Additionally, the light construction and smoothness of PLA that was used to print the plane greatly increased this plane's efficiency.

The plane was so fast and efficient that upon approach for landing, the plane actually glided much farther than expected and crashed into a fence. Unfortunately, this meant that I had to remove the electronics and recycle the plane. However, this encouraged me to create another delta wing out of cheap and durable foam!

My first impression was that it was super agile and fast! Without a proper fuselage, this delta wing from FliteTest was able to quickly roll, climb, and weave through the air. It was louder than a conventional airplane because the propeller was spinning in between two foam sides, causing some air to slap against the wing with each propeller rotation. However, this was only a small price to pay for such a great flying experience. Not only was it fun, but it was easy to fly thanks to its simple bank and yank flying characteristic. This will remain a favorite in my fleet.
