Complicated design with power and handling. overall this should prove fun and agile with good speed and handling. The nose down will go after about 60 mph and leave you with pretty flat and level flight. This thing is always on the edge of stability given its design so I'm keen to see how you guys get on with it. All the best

    @SemedolasPT thanks buddy! Went for the usual spikes but if you have a good look at the construction you'll fine it quite different given the middle section. Took an age to balance. Have a good one mate

    @ZFM99 crikey! !!!! I cannot believe you actually landed it!!!!!! That's insane. Great job mate I mean truly good stuff. Man that video should be everywhere. Can see why yaw is so important now, that would have been a swine without it for sure given the approach angle you the man as usual

    @Zing2000 hey buddy. Thanks for the rating man. Greatly appreciated. Took me a total age with this thing flying, absolute nightmare given all of the surface area and inherent lift at the far front, not helped at all hy my insistence that the front and rear fuselage were going to be connected soley but inverted structural wings. I shouldn't have out that top cover on really as it hinds that fact, this was the longest build for me by far. Testimony to that is that's it's nearly 2 am my time!! Good moring by the way mate :) hope you have a good one
