FG Airtruk

One of the oddest aircraft ever! Went together ok but if I was to make another one I would change a few things. The main gear is too short. When it sits on its wheels the tail booms should sit roughly level or slightly down on an unloaded aircraft. I actually shortened the nose gear a little to compensate. Other faults are mainly my own so the next one will be a lot neater. This is the large model which came out at 34 cms wingspan. The real aircraft was fully aerobatic as well!

The first time I saw one of these was in Mad Max 3. It looked so weird I thought it was made something made up to suit the scene in.The movie. I was surprised to find that it was a real plane.
