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. snip <

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

snip < 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,
