Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's Sea Plane

This was my 4th attempt at an original and functional airplane, in a pusher/canard configuration. Inspired by various real and fictional planes. It has elevators on the canard foreplanes and the horizontal stabilizer, making it very responsive in pitch. Low drag, fast, and maneuverable, this is great for air-racing and dog-fighting. Be careful of the prop on takeoff and landing; I inverted the engine to make thrust more inline with the center of gravity, but this gives the prop less clearance. Cheers!
