Wasn't easy to make, but it flies like a beauty, enjoy. Controls: [1 to activate parachutes]. History: In 1988 a project was started to create "delta wings of the future!" obviously a bit overhyped, it was started by the executive aircraft designer of bjac.co, a total of 4 delta wing designs were made in the "Project DW", the project ended in late 2021, the A type was built in 1997, with 207 built, they were used as carrier based craft to defend and escort an aircraft carrier to a site, due to their small fuel tank and small size, usually around 40 would be on an aircraft carrier to quickly replace one if it needed to be refueled. They were decomissioned in early 2013.
