Title: eLazair4 Flight

I want a 2m version of this... on wheels and floats.  It's so pretty.

I would not mind a 1:1 version of it!

Neat.  An E-modeller gone nuts.

Why the anhedral stab??  It is not on many full size aircraft.  You would think it is an issue in waves.  It actually dips into the water on take-off.

The inverted fins carried two castering tail wheels. I recall the tail was quite large maybe for low speed handling.

I have a feeling the anhedral stab makes it easier to trailer and transport.
