Have a spare BT20, so using it as the airframe. Designing on the fly... (as it were). Overall look is something of a SST/Interceptor/Orbital Transport sorta look.
Thinking of adding a "pitot tube" to the nosecone. Of course, a good ole toothpick will do the trick for that.
I've seen no design with that sort of "needle/pitot tube" coming out of a nosecone. Is there a reason for that? Is there a safety issue?
1/16th balsa for empannage. Wing tip (faux, of course) fuel tanks are possible... or wing tip pitot tubes..... Also small canards.... more for looks than anything. Smalll so not to goof CP/stability issues.
Decals.... anyone have a good source for decals? Concorde would work, I suppose. The decals, though, will make or break it!
Thanks!
