A re-imagining of the Dunne D.8, maybe 20 years later? I intended this for air/assisted launching, landing gear was a real problem. Eventually went with bicycle gear. So, balancing long enough to rotate can be a challenge (may add outriggers later). Once in the air it flies well, and landing is smoother usually than takeoff!
