A mid wing mono plane with folding tail dragging gear aimed at the sports market, the striped paint and pointy nose making the plane look similar to the small but fun to catch fish of the same name. Stick back on the ground otherwise you risk the prop snagging. VTOL slider up to fold the gear, you should be happy flying anywhere between 150 and 400mph.

    @K692 fair enough you are entitled to your views, this particular aircraft was more about taking a particular shape (a Pentagon) and making it fly hence the drag etc.

    @AeroEngineering I leave the off piste stuff to others after all its not called 'Simple Fish', whilst I appreciate others creations, boats, robots, and motors etc tend to appear on the featured page a bit too often for my liking. My skin even starts to itch when I see a helicopter as we all know they are the devils work and really shouldn't fly.

    @karlosdarkness Quoting another post : " Sorry but 3 stars is not supposed to be a bad rating. A 5 star rating has lost all of its meaning and is given way too easily. To me a 5 stars planes is really good looking (or an accurate replica) that flies perfectly and has practically no defect, or a really cool concept. A 4 stars has either one (either really good looking or flies really well). The 3 stars are not exceptional builds in any aspect but are still totally flyable. I don't want to disrespect the work you put in so a 3 stars rating will still give you points. The reason I rate this way is because it's hard to find really good planes when they all have 4-5 stars. Sorry if this offended you or whatever, I sincerely didn't meant to do this." Your plane is nice but there's a bit too much drag and I find it a bit imprevisible in how it handles

    @K692 Why four stars? What would have improved it in your opinion?
