RE: Piaggio
Thanks very much, Sam.
I've been involved with researching this aircraft, and building 3D models of it, since 1995, and am amazed that no one has gone to the trouble of building a large scale version. At scales of 1/6th or larger, (due to the foreplane size... Reynolds number issues)it should fly very well, and in a scale contest, could really wow people with it's shape. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone making scale plans. In about 2000 or so, Iseem to recall someone building a one-of-a-kind RC model in Germany, (Ithink) but Ihaven't heard about it since then.
It's a beauty, and it's fast.
