Though I like Alpha's for sentimental reasons, I've never liked how my Super Alpha flies. Its always been prone to heavy weathercocking, and seems to think its a jetliner, not a rocket - loves to fly sideways. Those big fins, those small motors... So I did some work in OR to clip its wings and bring its stability down a bit.
Here's the OR for the original Super Alpha:
Now here's the Super Delta, created by eliminating the tip chord:
It loses over 1/2 caliber of stability, but remains at a very stable 1.55c.
Now to do the mod.
