Since I'm sharing my vision, how about a pilot - maybe one that looks like the girl in the picture of the magazine article. Then we can figure out how to 400% her.

I appreciate your work.

If I have the poly budget (and I should), I'll do both.

It'll start with a OS .52, which is a pretty hot engine and works well in .40 size models. Polys allowing, I'll add a ~CS_ELECTRIC option in the EA and post a corresponding AV for an electric power plant. I haven't decided on an electric motor yet.

Retracts, most definitely.

Military CS, probably not. This is a pattern plane, so I plan to make it look like one. I will, however, post the master template (on this thread) so if you want to do another CS you may have at it.

Guns and rockets, also not likely. I plan on releasing this for G4. So G5 users can add their toys if they want to.

Take a look at my Pauline or my Parrot. Those busts (pun intended) eat polys too.
