Handley Page HP.115
The Wiki:
The Handley Page HP.115 was a British delta wing research aircraft built by Handley Page to test the low-speed handling characteristics to be expected from a supersonic airliner of slender delta configuration. It formed part of the British supersonic aircraft research programme, carried out in the 1960s and sponsored by the Ministry of Supply, that eventually produced the Concorde.

She is very sensitive to pitch adjustments; With that in mind she only needs very minor inputs to move places. Stalls easily, but if you have enough altitude you can recover.
As Always
A quick build as I'm a little short on time today. She flies okay, but I will take it for what it is: a fun little build and to be honest, my first crack at a Delta Wing. As always, please let me know if you have suggestions or improvements or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you for stopping by to take a look, and enjoy your flight!!
