Raciti CR-1 Grifone

This randomly popped up in google while looking for something else. Might be a fun thing to make.

The Raciti CR-1 Grifone, an experimental glider built in Pisa, Italy, in 1958, to explore the possibilities of fiberglass fuselage construction. Flown by test pilot E. Pistolesi, it was Italy’s first fiberglass glider, yet remains almost entirely undocumented

Very oddly shaped. I like the "folding fan" style stabilizer/elevator.

Makes me want to make a pacman inspired plane for Sunset.

Maybe a GIANT one for the target ship next year!

Actually this plane has spawned a new plane idea.. It might become a thing. A new technology for Aloft Hobbies.
