Default Hell On Rails (very simple combat plane idea)

Thanks! The V-tail version ended up at 2 pounds 12 ounces and the rudder version came out to 2 pounds 11 ounces. With the wings having over 400 squares, this is still almost motor glider wing loading I would put straight and level foreward air speed between 30 and 40 mph tops. Collin and I were out flying our rail planes last weekend in 20 mph winds, and the forward speed was about a 10 mph crawl...it was a blast!
