The successor to the Luigi Colani C-309, it is the ultimate racing aircraft for tight turns and high speed. I call it the "C-409", but the reality is I don't know the name of the real thing (I made it based off an image of a model of the plane). It offers greater speed than the C-309 on less power.

Comes with a nose camera for better vision.

    @Irobert55 I have plans for the future to repaint some old designs like this one in a more funky paint scheme, I might also make some changes to old designs to make em look cooler. But currently I've got some more aircraft to build.

    @Aerofy try to take a step up from the colany prop design and build some spezialised planes around it like fighters and dedicated aerobatic and raceplanes or some low altitute attackers for anti ship attacks with cleaver sor torpedos. i think the prop design is the best for such jobs. or go steampunkin with the design.
