You are welcome Luke. I sent you a private message on how I posted your picture, so as not to derail the thread.

Default ...and a new name!??

I think this would have to be relabelled as the 'F-4r' or something!

Looks like the wing is tapered already.....

and there's probably plenty of rudder, on the TWIN tails! :0
( you just can't see 'em in the photo! )

We need something to counter that upstart SubSonex. I'm starting to get some serious envy. . .
