Jet Powered Canard Seaplane

252 WestTXfun  7.0 years ago

Ugly duckling II - another seaplane experiment, this one is a canard design with high-mounted jets, light wing loading, and maneuverablility in mind. It's ugly but flies pretty well. Takeoffs and landings on land or in water are pretty easy and it's fun to fly.
