Designed by Barnaby! Cool.


It's a joint design. I happily take second billing.



From that little picture it looks to have a single surface wing,


Yes, it does.

but the planform???


Yeah, ain't it, though?

In thinking about it, I think plans built and easily folding wing are
the conflict. Folding wings usually need fairly complex fittings at
the wing roots - the kind of things that are beyond people working
with a drill press and bandsaw. I'm not saying it can't be done, just
that it's one reason we don't see them often.
