Looks like it needs floats!

All I can say is..."WHAT THE HELL IS THAT..??..!!!"

I think it's supposed to be a Pheasant. As far as the planform I don't suppose it's any weirder than a Lake amphibian. I suspect it's kinda slow though.

LMAO!!! Good find Brian! You should invite that thing to Beagle. I'd come down just to see it and laugh some more!!

He'll have trouble getting there without a tailwheel or even skid. Nice photoshop.

The photo came up on my FaceBook.... I think it was built in Europe somewhere...
I have seen a video of it flying here http://vimeo.com/34227441
It does have a tail wheel, just cant see it in the pic...

Hey what the hey? Those Italians go for flash you know? What can a person say. I suppose it would be fine as long as it wasn't your only airplane. I took my wife flying on our first date. I imagine that had I took her out to the airport and walked up to that thing, I'd still be single. Hey sweetheart, would you like to see my dead bird?

No problem, performance costs. How much are you willing to spend?

Well on the brightside, prop clearance wouldn't be an issue....

I know this is a hideous paint job thread but this "thing" qualifies for the most bizzare thrust line award too.

It's growing on me. The taxi and flight videos indicate some likelihood of of a groundloop in it's future. I think it needs some outrigger wheels out on the wingtips, or a shorter chicken neck. I don't think it has any dihedral.

A bad case of a slipping differential.

It would fit right in at Burning Man. Problem is, somebody might set fire to it.

That'd be cool if you could make it lay flour bomb eggs! A little trap door near it's egg layer and some sort of slide from the cabin area down to it is all it would take!
