I thought this was a modified Velocity when I first saw it, but it isn't It's definitely my favorite canard design so far, also because it reminds of a single place canard designed by an engineer at General Dynamics back in the 80's. Anyway, this one is a hybrid.

But what I wasn't expecting is how cool the jet version looks.

Scroll down for the three views of the jet version.

By chance, will there be a paint kit released with that? :icon_lol:

That's a pretty impressive craft for sure. Many ways it reminds me of the Piglet Scrofa. Still one of my favorites.
The interior strikes me as something Lionheart could muster.
I wonder if Tim is busy? Oh, Tim! :jump:

As I read more, it turns out it is related to the Velocity. Speaking of which, there is a twin velocity (http://www.velocityxl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Twin_N91VT) in development.

I forgot about Piglet's plane. I usually fly the Alphasim/Virtavia Vari-Eze when going for a canard. Nice pic.

That twin (some kind of mutant experiment) looks like it got in a head-on with a Baron 58 and time locked half way through :icon_lol:
