@atgxtg I did a version with two small jets in the rear wheel pods, it wasn't any faster and had a few balance issues, actually. Surprising just how much the props do.
I like the idea, but it's really unbalanced - really tail heavy, and the further out the engines are from the center the harder it is to control the plane. Also, the tailplane is too low, on takeoff it catches in the water. Maybe move the elevators up to the top of the tail?
@BlackhattAircraft That's a touch above my pay grade - haven't done any custom designs, just using existing tools.
@BlackhattAircraft It's rough idea. :D

That is definitely not a "delta" design.
@Milo1628xa Yeah, but it definitely works, right?
makes my Baby Lightning look like a wooden toy :(
@F4f879 of course.

@ACMECo1940 Thanks!
I like the handling, but it seems just a little sloppy - lots of overlapping parts. Good weight balance, though.
I like it, with the power this thing really takes off.
I like it! Did you upgrade the engine,then?
@THEANON Yeah, I didn't use the big engines, but it's so balanced it spins pirouettes around other planes.
With RC planes it's called a Nutball.
