Nice aircraft. At first glance I would have said it was a bit chubby but reading that you fit a bunch of working stuff in there I would turn that around to say lovely compromise between form and function.

I think your tail solution is perfect and I fully intend to steal it when/if I build another aircraft.

Really great built.

OK. I’ll out myself as an idiot before someone else does. I completely missed this model in .announce.moc (not once but twice) and figured it wasn’t there. At least I was being stupid for a good cause ;)

Originally I was going to go 6-wide, but went to 8-wide when I decided to add the mechanisms.

It’s the same design as my previous big plane, the PB4Y-2: http://bill.wards.net/blosxom/lego/models/air/pb4y-2.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/billward/sets/72057594078798048/ http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9569

   Really great built.

Thanks!!
