(From Wikipedia) "The M.39B Libellula (from Libellulidae, a taxonomic family of dragonflies) was a Second World War tandem wing experimental aircraft built by Miles Aircraft; a scale version of the M.39 design proposed by Miles to meet Air Ministry specification B.11/41 for a fast bomber.[1] The M.39B was used by Miles to generate data from which the M.39 design was improved but the M.39 project was cancelled and the B.39B broken up."
VTOL up almost to the top before takeoff. Action group 1 to raise landing gear.
Props occasionally lock up during flight, but that doesn't appear to affect performance.
HAPPY FLYING!
