This concept was pioneered by the SPAD company in world war 1. The biplane tail was just my little touch on it. The plane flys very good and has no noticable problems. I encourage anyone who wants to try this concept to try it themselves. Its a little tricky because the cockpit is held on only by struts. Interesting idea for ww1, i just cant imagine it was fun to bail out of xD
