This design incorporates handling improvements over my last design. Vertical stab area and sweep were increased for more lateral stability. I added additional pitch control surfaces to the front wing which due to proximity to the CG act more as flaps I think than pitch controls. This allows very short takeoffs and excellent slow speed handling. Now has air brakes as well. With a light load of fuel it will take off with just 30 mph off the pointy end of the carrier. With full aft stick and throttles at idle she e floats down controllably at about 80 mph.
