I have the plans for the Standard Skybolt and I am wondering what the differences are on the Delta. the Steen Site does not give a lot of detail. Aside from the increased gross (part of which you lose the benefit of with the increased weight of the 3 piece wing) and the 3 piece wing. What are the "improvements"? I am particularly interested in the opinion of someone who has experience with both.
In short-what do I get for my $100?
