Bostillation - Bostonian

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.

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

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

Tim,

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