The Scaled Composites Pond Racer (Company designation Model 158) was a twin-engine twin-boom aircraft developed for Bob Pond by Burt Rutan and his company Scaled Composites. Sadly this plane crashed destroying the only model and killing the pilot.
I admittedly made this mostly for the aesthetics so the handling is a bit sluggish. Feel free to tweak balance/control surfaces.

Great job. I made one too
Looks really cool
Nicely done. The Pond Racer was a sexy little plane. Too bad it was only around for 2 seasons.
Admiring the quality. Very nice.
