Ahem, about your idea of "fun ".....
...personally, I prefer something a "bit more robust "than,, erm, thin air. You could see why it could be a shade problematic if Cadet Bloggs decided on his first launch he wasn't quite as enthused about gliding as he thought....on the other hand, easy access for controls maintenance guaranteed ! . Just out of interest, where's "the Bomb " or was this added on later marks ?...….had a few hrs in the Barge which was always "sedate " to fly .
