Not really. I don’t think you understand what I was trying to point out.
Your plane follows the very typical composition with two large wings forward,
with a standard tail design. It looks like any given forward-prop-driven
plane dating from WW1 to the present.
The Coyote is a fighter-sized pusher prop flying wing, with wingtip
verticals. There’s nothing conventional about that.

The Brigand has the usual large forward wings, but has no conventional tail
design.

I can’t find any pics of the Dust Devil online, but I hope you understand the
point I was trying to make.

While I like Andrews plane, and can see where you classify it as ‘conventional’,
my question is - how unconventional is too unconventional?
I know this borders
on threadjacking or bumping, but I’ve been wondering if my
latest bird was *too* far out to
classify as Crimson Skies...
Oh, and Andrew, I really dig the backgrounds
your pictures have. Seems so conventional to have MOCs put up against neutral
backgrounds that the way yours were presented really stand out.
Thanks for
the time,
TRS

I don’t think it’s the shape of your plane that makes it a stretch for CS as
much as it’s the high-tech looking weaponry. Exchange that stuff for some large
primitive looking machine guns and I think you’d be a lot closer to the CS
style... making the front canards a bit more squarish would probably also make
it look less futuristic.

hmmm, bulkier, more primitive guns, I think I can manage that :)
thanks for the input!
