Two years ago a Convair delta wing broke my heart. Today another Convair delta is on the flight line — and I'm trying as hard as I can not to care what happens.
The F-106 Delta Dart. 1:10 scale. All composite. Six months of building this Century Jet Models scale RC jet from a pile of parts. And on a warm evening at the EDF Jet Jam — she flew.
This is that story.
Thanks to @TheProfessionalHobbyer for his help on the camera!
