That works!

Bloody hell, it works!

I can't get past some niggling little doubts about the shape of the forward canards - the rear-most "elbow" for want of a word, looks good but seems to jar a little with the shape of the other flying surfaces. Maybe its the smaller size of the 'hinge'? Nahhh..eludes me.

Don't worry about it....

Really nice work.

[Edit: Yeah, the canards grew on me, then my confidence waivered, but I think I'm getting over it again - sorry for doubting!]

Yeah, it's what you get from not planing a post before you type it,
just stream-of-conciousness stuff!
Sad for me, but what you are seeing is my actual thought patterns! (I need help!)

Humm, might be a good idea to explain the Canards true purpose...
Sorry that I never explain about them....forgot, to be honest I never attended to have them like this, it just happen this way...

I guess you can say that the canards act similier to the Folding Wings of the Tom Cat.

The Canards extend outwards for greater control for slower flight (Cruising)...but then Carnards can fold inwards for increasing Greater Speeds.

Now, when the Fighter leaves the atmosphere an eneters space, the Canards will folding completely underneath the body.

And thanks everyone for your Cool C&C....

"Lovely"

Sorry Star, due to internet restrictions where I am, I was not able to acces th animation of the folding that you did earlier - this puts it in perspective nicely, like the folding wings on the Talons in Stealth, the pointed "elbow" forms the canard wingtip when folded!

cheers,
