Controls
One more note on control layout: While ship architecture may be based to an extent on racial build, controls can still vary quite a bit. Look at te difference between a helicopter and a hang glider, or a speedboat and the Queen Mary. Differences in scale and function will also be a factor. As for wingspan/weight ratios. . .I thought the purpose of an Air Frame was to make the entire craft like a Lifting Body. Then again, I don't have BL. . . J Roberson
