I've got some really nice 3D renderings of my liner but the files are too big for the forum
and all my efforts to reduce them have failed. I'll ask the artist to do that and then I'll post.

Other angles.
Seeing as we're going to a desert I think these are appropriate.
I don't believe things happen by chance and meeting this young
guy is proof of that.
Denny Maranov, you're a star. I wish I'd had a son now. I get it.

If that's actually the size tail you planned, you might want to think about lowering the height. If you get it out of shape at speed it's liable to make it fall over.

Length is 38ft. Height at roll cage 2.91ft.
Tail dimensions yet to be determined by aero guy.
He can only do that when he gets the CG.
