small plane. with a novel feature.

Just a small MOC that's been sitting on my desk, got a new phone recently which has a decent camera and can upload directly to Flickr, so though way not?

I'm quite happy with the images though they are much more fuzzy than my actual camera, though it should be considered that the only lighting was a desk lamp and a room light.
The uploading process was much less painless than normal, I may start taking more pictures after this. maybe. if i can be bothered.
It's just a simple MOC. but I decided to post it due to one novel feature:
Folding wings.

wow, it took 17 minutes from pictures to post, I'm impressed.

EDIT:
we have weapons! just a pair of machine guns, the folding wing and low body design really leans away from arming.

A big gatling gun and a missile underneath would be perfect. Awesome, simple build.

I can see little planes like this being dropped from a bigger plane like bombs. Nice build!

Yeah, you could mass-produce those and put them in the belly of an airship.

Perfect compact storage. Now make a SHIP, and have a hundred of those things stowed away until combat comes. And when it comes...
ZERG RUSH THEM TO HELL!!!

100 of those planes taking off the deck of a carrier, wow. and 200 Mrk 2 (or three) weapons will really ruin a opponents day, not to mention there fleet!

I only have 1 of the propeller. and the planes aren't suited to combat, a single shot would take one down.
fitting the ship with a 100cp gun would be better.

Why not make a spotter plane? Make some field guns to go with it, and make an artillery crew.

Awesome Idea. You need to make one train car a plane launching(steam catapult?) car.
