That thing looks like a disaster just looking for a place to crash. I cannot see what would keep it from breaking in half.

I always said I would fly anything with wings, but I think this may be the exception. Would love to see the stress analysis on that wing center section.

That's a big one, all right. There are lots of online articles about it. I wonder if the designers looked at the P-38.

Saw this on the news last night. Just amazing. Can't wait to see it fly and carry it's payload. You must be very proud of your son part in this project.

Looks very flimsy to me, I would not fly in it.
