   This is a great looking rendition - you have captured the feel of it nicely imho! I believe the real world plane has a noticable dihedral for the main wings which I imagine might be a tad hard to show here (or is it just the limitation of this view?).

Thanks. Do you mean the teardrop cross-section (my first plane and I have no idea of the terminology)? I tried to capture it a bit but with the limited range of wing parts available I didn’t get it quite as much as I would like.

Actually I was referring to what could be called the “wing droop” as shown in this photo:


Wow. That plane certainly needs some Viagra(tm)... I didn’t realise they drooped so much. Might be time for a version 2 I think (ps. replied to your other post at jlug).

That is a big droop! I thought dihedral was upwards toward the tips, or does it cover both up and down? The Sopwith Camel was always described as having a noticable dihedral on its lower wings combined witha flat upper wing to give it a destictive shape and they slope up.

(...) Appparently, it does cover both up and down in aeronauctical terms: (URL) I guess I always took it to mean down for some reason. (18 years ago, 25-Aug-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
