I always like to note here that today marks the 49th anniversary of the day I started construction on my Skysail, November 5, 1971.
The photo was not taken the day i started, I'm not that fast. Unfortunately I did not take any photos that 1st day of construction.
And those up only elevons didn't stay a part of the design after the first flight tests. They caused the nose to pitch up before any roll action would start. I went to tip drag rudders instead and stayed with that choice.
