RE: Deception
I have to admit, I liked the shape, but it drove me to biting my desk when I saw the "lightening holes" all through the tail.
How much weight do you think it'll save? In my experiece small holes like that do little to reduce weight, and just make things harder finishing wise, if you'd stuck with full sheet sides and fin you could paint it, but now you're relogated to monokote, which unlike the plane, isn't as good as it used to be.
As regards SPA, if it looks like a duck, (meaning it has the same proportions, wing area, moments and airfoils ) and quacks like a duck.
It must be a deception....
