A lowing canard monoplane inspired by the hughes H1. Powered by 2 sets of 3 contra rotating radials driving 2 props. Used modded engines to get this effect. vtol slider controls elevator trim. pull up hard on takeoff to avoid a prop strike. Based on this drawing I made a while back

    Where the bazinga did you come from?!? Your designs are AMAZING. While I was flying this one I did think to myself "it'd be cool if the front of this plane could separate into another tiny flying plane"
