Radical u-pods! But would they pass a side impact crash test?

I'm pretty sure that with this choice of material, it wouldn't pass the crash tests 8)

theres that much glue in the thing i bet it would (if you scaled the test down for the size of it) :P hahaha.

but saying that im not willing to try lol :lol:

should have the wing on and maybe paint the thing over the weekend. going to test paint some parts that didn't turn out too good to make sure it doesn't distort the shape.

yeah its a bit of a beast lol i didn't realise how big it looked till i took the picture, its got quite a steep AOA aswell so maybe the angle of the pic you can see the whole of it and not the angle of the wing if that makes sense :S lol
