Looks good, but it needs to be longer?

There's also a groove running from the main wing roots to beyond the canards.

In the same picture, you can also see that the wing LG fold closer to their pods and that there is no wing drop.

I wish you guys would stop posting such big image files!
I wish this site had a cap on posted image sizes!

[Tip: when someone posts an image that is too big for your screen, right click the image and opt for "View Image"
Your browser will automatically reduce the display size of the image and show you the whole thing
in the same manner as if you clicked a thumbnail. Its a pain, I know, but its a better option than using the scroll bar to view the image!]

Bitch moment over....

That groove in the fuselage can be simulated with graphics and shading quite effectively.
This would simplify the fuselage design considerably.
Just my opinion.

AirDave, maybe there's a browser setting that's been overlooked.
My browser automatically shows them in reduced size.

I like the option of the small preview or the large view if I prefer.

Dave,

the Forum software automatically resizes the picture, I am seeing a bar above the pictures Legion posted

Quote:

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized HxW

and I get this in every browser available to me, IE, Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

I will talk with Jason to see if there is a way to turn on the default image size

thats odd..I don't see the resize bar.
for me, the image just loads full size, about twice the size of my screen.
(and i got a big screen!)

I am running Firefox ver. 4.0.1
I can opt for "load images" or not...thats it.
So there doesn't seem to be anything in my options to affect this.

My Monitor res is 1920 wide.
the image loads full size 2645 x 2645

Length looks about right but thanks for th LG fold placement....
