Default RE: Pattern Plane With Dorsal And Ventral Fins
Very interesting concept.

How does it fly (i.e. knife edge, roll, cross wind handling)compared to a "normal" plane of that size without the fins?

Just wondering - The power version makes sense but the slope soarer in 1st postmay side slip in cross wind on a slope.If this powered concept makes a big difference, why don't we see more ofthese type planes around?

Except for "foamies" etc, I've seen some planes with "canard " wings and "stall strakes" but not with these extended vertical fins.
