Bingo, Roger.
It's important to know what you do not know. I do not know enough to
predict what will happen, and do not want to take the time to do the
proper experiments to find out. The wings on a Dyke Delta aren't easy
to adjust. Impossible really, as it would entail rebuilding the entire
wing. The stall progression on the swept delta wing is also different
than a conventional wing. Lots of variables. Just enough knowledge to
know the variables exits. Leave well enough alone, I say. 8*)
As for switching the engine, there's a decade(s) of flying data that I
can dig into and feed off of. Maybe I will learn as much about
aerodynamics and structures and design my own delta some day, or maybe
I will finish this one and have enough fun to forget about it. 8*)
