The Plain Plane

This a plane.
It is a plain white plane.
It is a plain white fast plane.
It's just about as simple a plane as I have made recently.
It looks like it has two engines, but there are four of them and they all work, no tweaks and there are 2 different types, both of which when added together give it acceleration down low and high altitude performance up high.
The engines are a pair of BFE150 in the rear and a pair of BFE300's in front of those.
A little thirsty on fuel, so it has a tweaked fuel tank.
Controls as normal.
Easy to fly, no instructions needed.

D'oh!
.
My bad, turns out I have uploaded it, 4 months ago, under the name name 'WAC-31C'.
I'll dig that out and take it for a fly and see what can be done to make it better, I'm sure such an 'early' build from me has a few problems that need fixing.
.
WAC is short for 'Wintermob Air co.' a made up aircraft company I sometimes use for planes I make that I reckon are good enough to add to the 'company hanger'. lol
@Mickk ok
@SimonGlaser
A little I guess, I was not trying for that look though.
.
It did have the tilted tails at one point, but the autopilot hated them along with the oddly shaped wing surface, so I put them straight up and down instead and the autopilot is fine with that.
Not that you need autopilot with this.
.
I have made a Firefox 'clone' and I think I uploaded it.
It was ages ago though.
.
Edit: Nope, turns out I didn't upload it, maybe I'll revisit it and tweak it a bit with what I have learned since building it.
Reminds me on the blackbird
Sometimes simple provides interesting results.
I did not expect the sort of performance this has at all altitudes speed wise.
