This cartoon reminded me of something I built many years ago. I found it, restored it and re-installed it.

Neat... hope that's a 40 cause a .35 won't get it! 
Bob,
You using Z-Tron to operate the (?) all-flying tail? I don't see the pushrod...
<g> Cool! I wonder how long an old clunker engine would last in my neighborhood....
Bob,
Once again I have to plead with you to change the bellcrank and lead outs. You know they will never last more than a few flights at best.
Then there is the problem with the hinges. Most people would put them on the elevator, but noooo, you had to be different. As I told you before, your idea of controling the pitch of the plane by a hinged firewall, will not give you the amount of up control. Sure thrust vectoring works, but lets get real here.
However, I do think that that design is "OTS" legal. I checked with the United States Postal Service and they said that design has been around much longer than almost any other of it's type.
By the way, I thought the original had a MONO gear?

Is there a trim change with the flag up vs down?
What size fuel tank, looks like enough room for about a gallon
How is line tension inverted?
Do you wear high heels when you fly this?
I've thought of doing something like that too, but with the number of times mine has been run over doesn't sound like a good idea.
