I hadn't thought about SNOT when I was building "the wing" but I think it would

I did wonder at the authenticity of the Lucasfilm plane and it is difficult to
find a site on the net that deals specifically with this particular plane. I
must confess I do not really know what it is I am building! ;)

happen.
Thanks again,
Chris
