This airplane is a Y over a W, because my six year old nephew (named Wyley) asked me to; and frankly, no one else is going to make a flying version of the least arodynamic letter in the alphabet. Top speed 800 in level flight, 1000 in a dive. Will not come apart unless you crash it. Wallows a bit on take off, but patience takes care of that. Becomes too maneuverable under 10% fuel. Even at 1000 mph in a power dive, pulling up hard, or doing tight barrel rolls wont cause this to break up.
