Like the name says, this is a round end Bi Plane.
To be more precise, the wings basically fold over and keep going, to make a kind of an oval shape.
I did the same with the tail and it worked out pretty well.
There are two engines, tweaked for a little more power and 'stacked' on top of each other.
No XML fuel tank, but XML has been used on the bits that make up the curve on the wings.
The wing sections on the front are 0.5 the minimum width and the ones on the rear are 0.25 the minimum width, allowing for a smaller radius.
Fiddled and nudged the wing sections to get rid of 'gap syndrome' and make it look smoother in game.
Needs to be flown off the deck or given a fair bit of flap to get off the ground.
Tends to fly a little down once in the air.
Motor mounted upside down, because AUSTRALIA!!!
Joke.
Centre of thrust is better with it upside down and besides, the intake looks pretty good sticking out of the cowling like that.
Looks like it has no tail, but it is there, it just looks like something else.
Look at the control panels to find them.
Controls as per normal, AG1 for air brakes.

Good question!
One I don't know the answer to, but I guess it could be called a monoplane, technically speaking, mind if you unfold the wings they would be pretty long and give the plane absurd gliding capabilities, not that it doesn't glide fairly well now.
Is it still a bi-plane when its the same wing or technically a monoplane?
Cool!
