Here is an oddity from the war years. The Arsenal-Delanne 10-C2 was an unusual-appearing general-purpose French fighter protoype which appeared shortly before the start of the Second World War. Its tandem-wing concept was tested with the Delanne 20 light two-seat aircraft and was originally planned as yet another lightweight fighter. But shortly after the German takeover of the factory testing the plane, the prototype was taken to Germany for further testing, though it was never seen again.

    @AdamA I hadn't tried this guy out since posting it. I'm going to have to revamp with the newer parts. Hopefully it stays just as stable.

    This is the most stable plane I have ever flown.

    Well I greatly appreciate that. Most of my recent stuff got ignored/skipped because there were so many crummy builds being spammed constantly. @Wakescar

    Well, there have been a lot of less than quality builds getting more ratings than they deserve in the last month. It also seems that the average number of ratings going to good builds has gone up as the user base increases. So lately I've started cruising the user list and giving credit where it is due, to builds I missed when they were uploaded. Especially to users I haven't seen active. An effort to keep good builders building despite the sometimes unfair playing field :)

    Sadly I lost a lot of my builds to a xml file corruption a while back and haven't quite gotten the drive to start any new projects in a while. What brought your attention to my planes so suddenly anyway? @Wakescar

    @Wakescar I've been wondering that since I posted it.

    How has such an awesomely unique and balanced design gone unnoticed.
