BFF Stinger Mantis WIP
Left: current support for ship body and fin/wing mechanism. Works well, but cannot support a large load. Current build is suffering from warping and twisting. Entire fin/wing is presently supported through the two “1 x X” technic beams sandwiched between two plates
Right: (A possible solution?) I should be able to rebuild the hull support structure and mechanism for rotating fin and wing using this approach. Much stronger allowing for 4 “1 by X” technic beams to sandwiched between 2 plates on top and bottom running from the rear engines to the main hull. This will be much stronger and should have minimal warping and twisting even under the heavy weight of the fin and wing. Looking forward to trying this out...
