Three Surface Naval Aircraft - The idea was to have 3 high aspect ratio wings meeting at pods at the tip of the wings. The mounting of the nose gear on the "chin guard" wing was to give clearance for a parasite fighter. I underestimated the size of the aircraft by a bit, so it can only carry quite small aircraft. The tail hook is on AG1. It was a very well balanced aircraft right from the start, thanks to the 3 wings spread out along its length.
