The DELTA
While The DELTA may be new to the ultralight/kitplane market the design is not. The DELTA finds its roots in the family of light aircraft which has been available to Canadian ultralight enthusiasts. Aircraft as been designed for maximum flexibility in bush area and maximum passenger safety.
FUEL IN WING - No need ladder for refueling - Fuel is at the back during take-off to avoid engine starvation, also pressure increase by aircraft acceleration.
ENGINE AT THE BACK - Noise is at the back - Engine is low for minimum thrust variation - Engine is to tail for best tail control efficiency - Propeller at the back can be painted both side to permit seeing it turning and avoiding accident - In case of fire it is at the back away from passages - In case of exhaust pipe failure the carbon monoxide is at the back. - If engine is started by hand at the back and start moving, it push the person away from propeller and also move away from person starting engine - If the fuel leak develop it go down and rearward
CENTER OF GRAVITY - C.G. is low, to reduce possibility of turnover - C.G. is behind passages to permit loading at center of gravity - Baggage compartment in float is at C.G.
TWO TAILS SURFACE - In crossing one tail disappear behind the other - Rubbers are in propeller wind for better operation at low speed and for water operation
CABIN - Person enter and exit aircraft standing up - Two persons can sleep-in - Two persons can heat - play card - read etc. using the available table and changing seat position - Best possible visibility for 340 degrees - Fish from aircraft - Seats are adjustable - Instruments panel are the same as helicopter type - Trottle is like a 747 type - Floor is fiberglass for ease cleaning
WATER RUDDER - When used in the up position they are recessed completely in rudders. They also moved whit rudder
FLOAT - Amphibious, permit skies operation in winter - Wheels are operated with electric hydraulic oil pump - Main wheels are spring loaded - 4 hydraulic pistons are in aluminum with stainless steel shaft
The factory reports building times of 600 hours. The factory also produces wing kits for the PA12/14/18 and has been supplying floats to the light kit plane market for over 20 years.
