<---The Pander E showing its sesquiplane configuration in flight

Neuport 27.

Sesquiplane-a biplane having one wing with not more than half the surface area of the other wing. One wing (usually the lower) is significantly smaller than the other either in span, chord or both. The name means "one-and-a-half wings." The arrangement reduces interference drag between the wings whilst retaining some of the biplane's structural advantage.

Made entirely from recycled bits of old projects and scrap foam.Eyeballed it together and Voilà!
Success! Take that gravity!☻

T motor-as2212-10 1250 kv.8x4 slowfly prop.

2200mah 3c battery lasts 'bout 10 to 15 min,longer if you manage your throttle.

30 amp red brick esc and three 9 gm servos.

One Y connector and a lot of hot melt glue.

F.P.V. backpack with 200mw of 5.8 GHz,DIY cloverleaf antenna,H.K. e-osd,and a 30$ ccd camera also from H.K..

Big shout out to Tommyboytomsters and all the guys at FliteTest,by whom I am greatly inspired.

Mk1 is a lil ugly but for a proof of concept it works. Thank you for your time!

Thank you my good man. We have been trying to iron out the details on a few projects and add some new items to existing ones.(>.<) It was nice to relax with a goofy bird.
