And if you hate the Dragon P-51s for their loose flaps, folding wings that work would only break or get lost over time. Sorry I want my birds standing tall ready for flight. Now on the Crusader, you can go with wing area behind the cockpit in the up or down position.

They'd have to be pretty damn clueless then......as has been shown in another Crusader-related thread, there probably isn't another aircraft in history that has had more flamboyant paint schemes applied to it.

LOL, I have just been given a lesson on semantics. OK FOLDED wings. I am also no fan of moving bits'n'pieces. How about versions with fixed folded wings and one in flight configuration?
