Oh yesssssssssssssssssssssss!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Hmmm starting to wonder what a spyplane style might look like.  :unsure: Think U-2.  One big engine, high mounted forward swept wings.  Main gear and outriggers like on a U-2.... hmmmmm   :wub: :o :rolleyes:

Perhaps a mild forward sweep, something along the lines of the Schliecher ASK-13 sailplane?

Fannnnnntastic

I love it

One presumes an ejector seat would be in order - a pilot would want to get well clear of those intakes if he ran into a spot of bother

Thanks so very much for the wonderful input.  I will take your fine design points under consideration.

don't change a thing!! The U-2 idea could be cool, but you should keep this one as is and do the U-2 at a later date  :cheers:
