Tandem Wing Test Aircraft

This is my attempt to build an airplane with the tandem wing design, which has two pairs of wings located forward and the rear. Both pairs of wings generate lift. This design reduces the wingspan of the aircraft, which saves hanger space.

Thank you. I like the tandem wing design too, but unfortunately it is not so common nowadays.@ThePrototype
I've done a tandem wing design before.... they are quite useful when you can't adjust you COL easily....
