You are welcome Luke. I sent you a private message on how I posted your picture, so as not to derail the thread.
p.s. I want a ride in that thing if it ever becomes a reality!

...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! )
( Walter mitty helmet pulled on a little tighter...switching to missiles!)

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