Based on a single photo of this crazy concept I decided to give it a try. I loved the idea of a pod racer style layout with twin tail booms. Designing prop planes is a little out of my comfort zone but it was fun and proved to be a very fun little plane to print, assemble and fly. The plane doesn’t have any bad characteristics at all. Easy to hand launch and easy to land
