Canario ST2000's description:

My wife was always complaining about how narrow my favorite field of view was and I really like it that way. But I managed to built this model so she can enjoy flying with a extreme minimal cockpit in what we call as a "teco-teco".

With dual opposite Blade T1000 mounted into the structure, not even the blades will stop you from enjoying the view again. The wing is mounted with a structure that, with help of two shocks per side, will give to the wings an extra mobility. Since the landing gear is mounted together with the structure, the shocks will act -while on the ground- as a suspension to the wheels. There's fuel's tanks on both wings but I added a tank below the seat too, to increase the maximum distance of flight. The commands are separated in two separated handlebars, so you can choose between regular or goofy configuration, just like a skateboard. To control yaw, you can simply twist any handlebar, since both of them works together in this third command. Thanks for choosing my garage again and take care on your flight! C yall later.

VERSION ST2000.1:

A few things were adjusted. All the data was specified in the maximum coefficient of effectiveness possible and adjusted individually. The springs that held the wings are a little harder, the engine is running with half the original power so now we can go further without refueling the plane without risking maneuverability, also, the landing gear was improved with bigger tires and better placement, and landing in rough terrain is no more a danger to the physical safety of the plane. I'll let you know if anything new comes in mind. C yall later.
