LM, see that tiny pixel protruding from the underside of the fuselage?
That is a ringer for "canard"...

"Tu montes Tu descends descends descends descends" "Je suis en train de descendre là?" "Descends" "Non tu montes là" "Là je monte okay alors on descend"
How ugly can things get?

About as ugly as totally untrained, un-supervised and ill-prepared amateur French pilots alone on the flight deck of an Airbus.....

Yours faithfully,

A professional pilot.

Good night everyone.

Yeah, the recommendations BEA made speak for themselves...
The 3rd interim report contains some scary stuff indeed...
Sad, sad story.

Nite LM, sleep well

Manned and homebuilt.
psst, psst, it's me!

Edit: as I said before, it has canards, and all the three surfaces provide lift.

Well done mate!
I'm lazy this evening, so I'll just put some random links...
Aceair AERIKS 200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aeriks 200

Lightning Mate has control!

Re the gap: I'm sure I traced that outline with the pen tool... I must have selected everithing except for that...
I've also filled the gap in the landing gear, which I also traced as a triangle with the pen tool... definitely my bad.

Aren't you a PS wizard?
I use the pen tool to put some points on the outline, then use the "convert points" or something (that V shaped arrow) to pull the handles and draw curves where needed, then fill the layer white, select black fore colo(u)r, brush 2px, then "fill path" and "draw path (brush)" to get that nice anti-aliasing feel. Smooooth!
