Not sure I get the joke. And actually I might build this, it seems like it would just be a flying wing, my other design seems to be going a different direction (pusher, FT Alpha style). and I have an extra EDF.

Im a little confused are these aircraft that have never flown at all or flown but failed aircraft aswell.. I wouldnt mind doing the xh-84h if thats the case.. I also feel like this whole thread could be minimized to lockheed designs and still have enough to go around.
In the spirit of the competition let's say "never had a succesfull takeoff and landing" for full points on that part of the scoring. If it only flew once or twice then maybe half points on that part, and if it made it further into testing or multiple copies were built for testing then no points in that section.
I think he's referencing the Monty Python skit where instead of riding horses the knights walked and pretended to have horses while their squires followed along behind them banging coconuts together to make horsey sounds.

[/QUOTE,
It can fly but it might need a small fin on the bottom for additional stability. Think of it as a dart thus the nose has to be to be heavier than the tail. IT WILL FLY. Happy flying

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing except I was going to try it without the fin and add one if it needs it. it should fly and I am hoping it will be a simple build wing+nose

Sorry for my attempt to be humorous. Here is a video so you can see it flying.

Don Karnage's Tri-Plane Update:
I posted a video of some test flights I made with the plane to the build page HERE.
I'm not sure it is proof that it fly, or just capable of leaving the ground and flailing around in the air. Either way with lessons learned construction on version 2 will start in the coming weeks.

Congrats on the progress!
I think that counts as flight... barely controlled flight, but still flight
Looking forward to v2
