I've never had a Diamond Dust so I can't compare the two. The picture I sent you is my 4th Holy Smoke. If you are looking for something with blinding speed the DD would be the first choice as the HS has a relatively fat wing which limits the speed factor. It is pretty fast, I estimate it's hitting about 90mph on my OS .40FSR. You could get the speed up a bit with a Jett or other "hot" engine. The HS is a rolling maniac with the elevon setup as in the picture. I have always used the elevons setup since I built the first one stock and didn't get a fast enough roll rate.

I will look over the weekend for the plans. I know the kit is buried in the closet somewhere.

I've seen a Holy Smoke with a piped YS 60 and retract (center wheel and tip skids). It flew "quite briskly" - this was at the AMA Homecoming event at Muncie in '93. 10-9 or 10-10 APC prop IIRC. I think he had fitted 1/8" ply elevons and used ~ 90 oz-in servos on them. I remember it rolled like crazy.

IIRC the guy's name was Ron London and he called himself the "Delta King" for fun. It's been a decade.

How about a Balsa USA Force One or the larger Enforcer? I believe you can get plans without buying the kit.

Many plan suppliers are listed under "plans" at

many manufacturers sell plans only e.g. the Balsa USA delta models. See also the free plans and instructions under "Flying Wings (inc Delta), Flapping Wings or Ornithopter." - e.g. scale up the Pilbros. Many slope soarers are easily converted to electric or gas powered models. For the cost of buying a plan and purchasing the materials, an excellent delta is available which takes any motor from a .25 to a .61 or use as a slope soarer with ballast in nose. Laser cut, the parts slot and key together in your hands thus assembly can be completed in an hour but a little more time required for covering and installing gear.:

ex GST at today's exchange rate. Check under both "Protech" and "Laser Models" at Tower and other US stores in need. U/C is often added but is not necessary.
