This has been rolling around in my head like a coin in a clothes dryer. I've tried to ignore it, but finally the urge to do something about it and make it a reality got to be overwhelming. I'm really jazzed about this one and so far it's coming together like a dream.... :cheers:

Can't wait to see more!

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

You're utterly evil man :) . . . Will it be a 2-holer and will it have the Rhino wings?

Thank you! I'm really inspired by this one ( I haven't felt this good about a build since Hogzilla) and things are moving along quickly. ;D

Look good man, looking good  :thumbsup:

You decide on camo, service branch, or country yet?  How about ordnance?  Can't wait to see this one done!

How do the Eagle's tail planes look with those wings?  And which vertical stabs are you leaning towards?

Thank y'all for the enthusiasm! I feel the same way about it. I was getting bummed because I felt I wasn't getting the enjoyment I use to when I put something together. Now it's back and I'm on like a duck on a Junebug!

QuoteYou decide on camo, service branch, or country yet?  How about ordnance?

It's going to be a Navy bird, probably with a hi-viz scheme. Not sure about ordinance, but I do have a couple Harpoons that I've been wanting to use.

QuoteHow do the Eagle's tail planes look with those wings?  And which vertical stabs are you leaning towards?

Definitely the Eagle stabs. I was thinking about canting them a la Stealth Eagle, but I'm thinking that leaving them as they are would remind the casual observer there is an Eagle in there.  ;D

Look behind you!

Looking good Eddie.  I would never had thought these two would look that good mashed together.
