The ES-39. Not quite the pinnacle of Squirrel Industries, but a revolutionary plane nonetheless (and by revolutionary, I mean as about as revolutionary as the next generation of smartphones… For those slow on the uptake, that means not very revolutionary). Anyway, this thing handles amazingly in the air, it’s not a speed demon/Lance Armstrong after a doping session by any stretch of the imagination, but it handles better than 90% of the catapulted cabbages I’ve created.

Handling on the ground is a different story altogether though. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been quite as blessed as its air handling counterpart. Imagine a seal. Handles great in the water doesn’t it? Put it on land and you’ve essentially got a tub of “I can’t believe it’s not butter” with a few flippers strapped to it. Well it’s the same with the ES-39, it handles like your local supermarkets finest shopping trolley with the wheels replaced with table legs. On top of that, the wings are about as circular as the illuminati triangle. It is landable though… I think.

Anyway, a new stealth plane is next on the list (another favourite of mine), but until then, happy flying!!!
