I love this! Short span for low drag and maximum speed!
It reminds me the Moskalyev SAM-9 Strela http://www.unicraft.biz/on/strela/strela.htm is this the inspiration of it?

[zenrat]

Ooh I like that.

[63cpe]

Thanks gentlemen!

And Tophe; yes it was part of the inspiration, other source is the Sack AS.6 and the Larson speedbird. Or in short, less (wing) is more..

Every time I see this thread title I keep thinking of the James Bond film Thunderball 

Gondor

Ehmmmm, perhaps it resembles the mini submarine used in the movie?!

Nope, just the name is similar to the baddies boat's name Disco Volante https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_vehicles#Marine_vehicles

Gondor

Ah, I didn't know that!  i'll try to find decal like: pilot : E. Largo

You could use J. Bond.

With some canards this could also turn into a Payen "Flèche Volante"?

[63cpe]
