I have a great deal of confidence that whatever decision is made it will be the right one (although doing so with such a ground breaking project is never easy).

Thanks for the replies. I've never been disappointed with the answers.

P.S. Actually, it is not quite true: I asked you ten years ago at Combatsim.com about modelling some of the challenges in photo reconnaissance. I'm still waiting to see the outcome... But, I am very patient.

We have soomething in design doc. But still not sure that it will be finally programmed as I want (fly mission, take photos and then see them in menu of the next mission with the pointed target).
Really not easy to make if we want this good.
And my principle for the whole life is
better to do nothing than bad.

Ahh Ok. Now understand other thing.
From the beginning Sow isn't designed for the visual effect of such thing - distortion of the whole wing surface (with cambric (percale) covering) around the main spar. But... if there will be needs in future... and for the long leight wing of glider for example... we will make it. Should be success with the first in series... then almost everything will be possible....
For the first time for the third party modellers I would remommend to develop aircraft having normal wing with aileron. And cockpits for already modelled other(AI) aircraft in the sim. This would be the great suggestion from our side. And for such developers that wil make it on a serious basis we will give these models (AI) to help them to make it well.
