Interesting concept. What is the idea behind the double gull wing design? (aerodynamics?)
Let us know how she flies...

Good luck

today was a wash out. got her to the field and silly me I hadn't checked the cg sence early in the build oops tail heavy. also the rods that connect the uper and lower ails were to long I made them longer in a BF moment .

Bundubuster I started to build a sunray but decited what the heck why not do two gull wings.
