For @Ctracerx2 - Efficient wing-only Pigeon can take off from Tarpley's and land at Murphy's or any landing strip. Must use Glide, only for landings, touchdown is around 100 mph. With a good landing, you can take off again from fields like East Island or Tarpley's. Have fun!

Thank you, @TheLatentImage
@Stingray every time i see you make a new plane i get excited ;)
Thank you @Nickasaurus
Thank you @Ctraxerx2
@Teus Thank you, that was the goal!
It's suprisingly stable without the tail fin. I did some crazy manoeuvres with it and it didn't spin out once.
@Planetinker Correct, I wanted to float slowly into landings. Thx!
Fun design! Moved the CoM slightly forward by adding 150 pounds of dead weight to each of the inlet spikes (300 pounds total) to give it more neutral handling. Looks like that increased landing speed a bit.
Thank you, @Delphinus
