the Gazelle is a big influence as it's one of my favorite choppers...

Your Super Cobra inspired me too... for my collection of Mustangs. But finding a balance has not been easy.

As Chris almost says, looks like a bought one.

Yup!

Now THAT is something different, Tophe...

And i believe you, finding a balance for that design will not be easy at all...

Awesome!

Glad you like it, gentlemen!

I'm really pleased with how it came out and I am the one who has to THANK ALL OF YOU because, if i've managed to do a good job of it, it's because of all i've learnt throughout the years with all you fine people who post on this forum!

That means it's well integrated.

Like one guy said on FB, it's Blue Thunder's illegitimate child...

For my collection of Lightnings also, one (or two) Fenestron(s) was a good idea, thanks again!

It gives balance to an asymetric airplane, or this (or equivalent) is mandatory on a helicopter version:

The Fenestron looks very much at home on the Cobra.

It might just give me the kick up I need to do a Cobra conversion I've been thinking of for the In the Navy GB.

It does look like it should've had one in real life, doesn't it?
Yeah, go ahead and do it! The cobra's are beautiful choppers and there's no such thing as too many of them.
