The problem with custom designs is you have to eyeball stuff to get it right. After I looked at the first picture I posted a few more times the canopy didn't seem tall enough so I raised it some. So would you guys look at the Before and After shots I'm uploading and tell me if it's tall enough now or does it need to be taller.

First picture before Second picture after.

To me the after picture looks better

Thanks Ron. So is the After picture tall enough? Or should it be a tiny bit taller? Thanks for your help.

Go with the TALLER, like Ron said.

Sorry I must have said it wrong. My question was is the After picture tall "enough" or should it be a tiny bit taller.

After picture looks fine.

The second pic. is fine IMHO, I was just agreeing with Ron. The roll eyes was to express me looking "UP" at Ron's reply, no need to be taller.

Thanks that's all I wanted to know, if I should make it a bit taller since I made it too short the first time. You guys always seem to be a better judge of stuff like that. I'm sorry I don't know what "no need to be taller" means.

Okay thanks that's what I wasn't sure of. I made it way too short the first time and wanted to make sure it looked okay before I started working on something else.

"no need to be taller"...??....You were asking if it should be taller,....my answer is/was "no need to be taller", referring to the canopy, sorry if I confused you.

Duh.. Ha it was plain as day. But for some reason it went right over my head. (dumb guy)

This is/was me watching it go over your head...>>>>.. LOL

 

[space boy]

if it went over your head, then YOU need to be taller! ?

At his age so many things have gone over his head it's a wonder he isn't bald from the friction.

Dumb ole me when I created the canopy frame I forgot to add the two pillars on each side of the front so I went back today and added them. Then yesterday I messed up the mesh that creates the intake under the wing and had to redo it. I tell you there's some sort of conspiracy going on.

A little more progress. I reduced the width of the fuselage and added some detail in the cockpit.

 

[technoid]

I worked on the landing gear this morning I thought I'd see if I could improve them some, that is if the extra details I added will still fit inside the wing without making it a bit thicker. I haven't tried retracting them yet I still have some work to do before I do that. Hopefully my work won't be wasted. Now I need to get ready to take the wife to Dallas to see her specialist there.

it's good that your wife has you.
