Pete, HOLEY MOLEY...!!!! I just ran across this thread last night about 12:30am and stayed up until 1:30am or so reading the comments and looking at the pics. Very, very nice!! If it flies as well as it looks, we're all in for quite a treat. Your experience with, and knowledge of, Blender really shows. I just downloaded Blender 2.6 myself, but I have no idea what I'm doing. Anyway, I'll start with the 'Cookie' probably, but hey...gotta start somewhere, right? I have to go buy X-Plane 9.7 now so I'll be able to fly your plane. (I currrently have 10.05r1) Again, awesome, awesome job, and I'm really looking forward to the release. Jim
