Tim,

The three tails are just to give it more charisma, to go along with the pun in the name, and because I can. :)

That looks very cute. Is there a particular reason for the three fins or is it just for a different appearance?

Wow, it looks very nice and as you sad, it also seems to fly nicely.

Bostillation - Bostonian

Post by kittyfritters » Tue Sep 27, 2016 8:33 pm

During the past year I have been working on a 3-tailed Bostonian design called the Bostillation. I also used it to develop my semi-self-aligning box fuselage construction method that I developed to take advantage of laser cutting. (Sometimes it's hard to believe that I scratch built models before I had a laser cutter! ;) ) It flies very well and I made the effort to put it into kit.

Here is a video of a short flight and some pictures. Not trying for any records here, the flight had to be short enough for me to post it to my computer from my (old) cellphone.
