Right neighborly of you guys.
I'll just slip in here behind the Fokker-like thing.

I suspect the spruce content in your design is too low to play with

"Um, say Lead",
"Can you get this gaggle up to 100 knots?"


I forgot that I had this one, Ron...

Sketched it out one evening, but the texturing kept being weird.
The canopy didn't like my cloud reflections. I dunno.

But it doesn't fly very well below 100 kts...

(I was going to write a keyboard function that allow menu selection
of wing camber, area, sweep, etc. while in flight, but I never quite
got around to it. Think of it as virtual variable geometry :^)
