Like this? Not that hard, actually. I need to fix the air intake but that is because I tried to over-engineer it big time.



Beautiful futuristic design, but I am not entirely sure that it would fly though, as it does not seem to adhere to the laws of aerodynamics.

The other planes in the book are great too, the Golden Rocket, the Red Wing, etc.

cool but maybe not enough pot-bellied in the middle?

I agree. Actually, it is quite hard to figure out exactly based on the drawings in the book. I used a 3-view drawing found on the web that is probably rather wrong. I am sure that it is not that hard to do much better than that.

Apparently, many people worked on this design. I found this very cool follow-on design while surfing the web to find documentation. This looks somewhat more "realistic" or at least less cartoonish, but maybe it has less charm because of that.

Hey guys I hope you dont mind if I post a picture of my plane in this thread :) lol

Have not been working on the model as much as I'd like to be lately but here are some additions.
Let me know what you think! thanks!

Hi Mike, it's coming together very well!

The funny thing about those stabilizer fins on the front of the plane, makes the front of the plane look like a tail section of other planes from the Top view.

Hi Michael, I know its such an odly shaped airplane. I think it wound up suffering stall and flat spin issues which led to its demise in the real world!
will post more as I go!
