(Experimental Canard Glider Utility 9 “Ballista” ) An experimental design that went horribly right, initially design to test mixed prop+jet engine config and “canard glider” wing set up. Stable and manueverable at the same time, can accelerate very quickly in even the flattest dive take care when nosing down. This thing suprisingly can keep up with fighters in dogfight even out turning most, but to get in gun range Full use of Ballista high dive acceleration and Manuverability is key.

@ZeroErrorz That’s pretty creative! I was also surprised at how manoeuvrable it is for its weight but then again it does have a huge wing surface area. I always have the opposite problem where my realistic or replica builds are too manoeuvrable so I have to do all I can to make them turn slower hahaha. I’m looking forward to seeing your other designs!
@Mustang51 haha thx, i didnt put speed brake on it cos the wheel is a bit damp and since its turn so quickly it prob gonna lose all the speed quickly too so i kinda left it as is. This is my first upload out of most my design just because this is the one i feel really change something.
I got my inspiration on how a U2 is a F104 with giant wing so i tested the long ez / sanka / J7w1 set up wondering what happen if its a giant canard, it suprised me that it can evenly match high speed high turning fighter while being able to stay at low speed for chasing slower plane and ground attack haha.
Cool looking aircraft!
