Default RE: Too ugly?

CP, who in the world said I was going to build this thing! It just seemed like a good addition to the plan library. A surestart, some positive incidence, and a little downthrust may turn this into a neat little trainer.
That GLH sounds like it was a real PITA to build. A built-up wing may solve that though. I'm not real big on reproducing someone else's work. No real challenge there.
Now, coming up with something that can whoop a GLH sounds interesting. I might have to look it up and see if it's a worthy project. What engine do you want to use? There is an airfoil that I've been wanting to try. It's designed for pylon type setups with high speed and tight turns being the goal. I wonder how it would work on a really hot 1/2a... Interested in that?

The rest of you comedians will be forced to build this (f)ugly thing. Any changes you'd like to see before I finish it up?
