EPP Foam Delta Wing Takeoff and Landings with Nose Wheel


Added little nose wheel to drag out landings a bit. Seems to land nicer than and with less shock than just a skid. Now want to raise the nose wheel to give prop ground clearance to see if delta can take off from the ground. May have to change motor and prop to give it more thrust.
Update: I raised the nosewheel to provide clearance for the prop- did takeoff from the ground. It worked but was so unstable in the air that I clipped the nosewheel on the ground and it broke off. Wish I had videoed it - was funny and cool at the same time. Will glue it back on and try video sometime.
