| The very Planet Satellite was built with the engine at the rear ( amidships say Planet in their press release ),the exhaust eflux emitted underneath the fuselage via asbestos cladding to dissipate the heat,over heating was probably a problem as there does not appear to be much in the way of cooling ?
I would like to know the colourscheme of this machine ? something that seems to have been lost in time,you will not find much in the way of any more photographs as she was a little camera shy.
No reason why she could not be made to fly providing that the centre of gravity and weight are kept within limits,too heavy a wing loading and she would be a missile that would fly like a brick ! and certainly a candidate for washout with those thin wings which would need thickening up a bit to be successful.
This is a subject for a simple electric powered sheet design to iron out the bugs before committing to a complex build.
