PY-44GB 'Falconidae'

The Falconidae is a subsonic experimental designed around a composite low wing. I was very happy with the way it turned out and it's actually really easy to fly and land. The forward mounted modified engines provide plenty of thrust for the weight. Enj joy!

    Thanks! I was intending to build something else and the wings developed a life of their own. I was actually surprised at how well the aircraft handles with such and odd lift profile.
