A fun, unconventional idea I’ve been toying around with, actually put some decent effort into the aesthetics but I still need to tweak the flight characteristics since its not entirely stable - probably too short so the small forward CoM pulls the nose down or it spirals out of control. Based on the Rutan VariEze pusher prop.

@JJJS thanks, I just thought the RL plane looked pretty cool so wanted to work with that. It actually used to be even shorter but I’ll make it longer - I think I put a gyro on it at some point too but it seems to be lost inside one of the parts..
It's actually a good idea..
Maybe make the plane longer or put a Gyro on it :)
