EinhanDER!
Good to have you back. Is it only a brief visit, or are you able to get on more reliably?
And that is one zippy looking prop-driven aircraft.

its, ah... really, really, yellow 
What kind of gear would work with it? Its got too much weight behind the main gear for a tricycle type. its flight characteristics might be better with a non-FSW to keep it from being so tailheavy.

That looks neat. I particularly like the wing structure.

It looks cool, but horribly impractical. The wings seem too short to permitt a sensible takeoff speed and there's no obvious reason to forward-sweep them. Similarly the pointy nose and fighter style cockpit seems rather superfluous on a mid-to-low subsonic aircraft. Plus those counter-rotating props are going to make a hell of a lot of noise. But it might be a fun air-racing aircraft.

Nice craft. I'd also like to state that I cut my hair.
That is all.
