    Excellent! My first thought was, instead of tail wings on the back, how about a ring about 3" larger in diameter, and about 3-4" long with four standoffs. The standoffs (which of course would be located between the cylindrical body and the outer circle) could incorporate control surfaces for yaw and pitch.

    Kudos to the crew for some excellent pictures. Josh, excellent video. You brought up some interesting points: a) even a crash is a learning experience, we often focus on the positive outcomes and sometimes disregard the negative ones. Secondly, working with foam core allows for those negative , and often more important results, to come at a very low price compared to conventional construction.

    Awesome, and hilarious! Only suggestion is, but it's probably too heavy, plexiglass or something similar for wing, with the white arms, just to make it look a bit more realistic.

    Very cool. I couldn't help, but notice how closely the aft stabilizers resemble the emergency escape shuttle, which was planed for the space station. It was the X-38. I'd love to see the science fiction based Leif Ericson done up, in this medium, please. I'm sure it'll fly, but you may need slightly oversized bow planes, at the "conning tower" section of the craft. Would also be interesting to see the scout ship this model came with, as well. Thanks for an amazing video. :)

    Pusher prop in the back with the other two props would have been cool, a kit would be awesome i'd buy it!
