Ok gents, I'll give you a hint. The rainbow plane is not an American model. It is European. That should narrow your search a bit.  :banana:

Actually I think my Lord and Savior could do much better than the worst plane ever made.

That is the infamous Christmas Bullet. Also known as the Cantilever Aero Bullet. At least Cuthbert Mills got to go and see Jesus not too far into the thing's maiden flight.

  Hmmm looks kind of like a #9 footprint smoothing... or a Stanley jointing plane!

Blinder put the XP-67 up a few days ago.  :huh. BTW, this pig would have flown even worse if they actually had installed all those heavy 37's.

So is anybody going to tell me what that is?
