Putting a cockpit on the Cloudhopper sure changes the whole appearance. NOW I want to build a Goony! The rabbit is more kid friendly, PC concept, I suppose, as were most of the final Goony designs. But the original sketches are way cooler than anything that was put out!

Those original sketches are GREAT !
If the Goonybirds were actually those designs (instead of something conjured up by an idiot no-nuthin' about what they are doing OVER-paid for marketing mis-manager) I would have bought them instead of HATED them.

Those sketches are incredible! It all makes sense now! What a shame, but I still like the goofy goonies they became.
Phred, you really need to do these decals! And a Red Baron version, too! Drew

I don't think the marketing manager VP and his buddy even realized that fin shapes could be changed. My suspiciion is that said VP was on too much of an ego trip.

My guess is that the Galaxy Guppy was a V2. Look at the rocket in the background of the Sopwitter - My theory is that was what became the Star Snoop - the fin shape is right although there seem to be more of them on the Red Barron rocket. Greg

Did you sim it? It looks great (and I'm amazed at how quickly you finished it,) but is there any chance that it will be stable?

It might be just as stable as the 1940's era prototype...  ...or it's original designers...
