Subject: Question about ultralight using a hang-type wing and 2 or 3 axis control system

Theoretically, if I designed an ultralight using an old 'billow cruiser' STYLE hang-glider/delta wing at a fixed attitude, using a 2 axis control system (rudder/elevator on a tail boom) with the billow of the wing providing a dihedral for lateral stability. Is this possible/practicle? How about the same system, but use stubby winglets on poles to either side of the fusalage as airlerons. How about a cable attached to the trailing edge of each side of the wing that are pulled on one at at time when turning, with the deformed trailing edge on the inside half of the wing acting as a spoileron? PLEASE!!! I am at work, and can't bookmark this site, so PLEASE e-mail me any responses. If anyone thinks it may be possible, i'll post some sketches. Oh to be rich.. and have unlimited R&D funds... oh well..

Ace
