Thanks Tom and Mark for your kind words. The Defiant is a little different from most patterships. The wing is set on the thrust line and the nose sports a 3.5" spinner. The canopy area is not blended into the fuselage as much and resembles more of a Formula One racer. To be honest, the plane was based off a Formula One racer called the "SNO SHOE" which is the highest evolution on the old F1 Shoestring. I really liked the widebodies of the PL Smaradg and Excellence so stretched the SNOSHOE fuslage into the widebody pattern configuration. With the wing set on the thrustline with no dihedral the Defiant rolls and snaps very axial holding its lines very well. There is still quite a bit of fuselage side area above the wing which helps visibility over other mid wing planes I've flown. Sure love the constant speed of the widebody!
