When side force generation gets out of hand
What happens when you really - and I mean really - build a plane that can keep any attitude, regardless? It gets ugly :-p
Check out Peter Haase's model Counter-rotating props and vector control, plus enough SFG's to last a lifetime.

More pictures from the event (and of the yellow/black plane in question). What do you think?

That's very different looking, kind of looks like you should be able to use it as a food processor when you aren't flying it.

How interesting, the original fuse seems to have been the Insight designed by Mark hunt and then the designer saw the voodoo and well....
Darwin has theories on such things i believe.

What is the point of having the twin vertical tail setup? It is just to get more surface area without making it really deep / tall?

I guess the full scale Beech 1900D still has them all beat for the number of flow devices added to an airframe.....Now I'm not talking about vortex generators
Of course if you look at some of the F3P designs...well....
