well this is kindof what i am going for in the end (the landing gear) i grew up with this movie and have always loved the look
anyway the ending question is trying to figure out how much forse the shocks will have to absorb at such shallow angles comperd to the main weight
I don't think the plane as is would fly being basically a tailless low wing anehedral flying wing.
could be done maybe but would want to make it an edf model then there would be the problem of intakes for the air
anyway just my thoughts
