I figured that for my first real-plane replica, I would go for something fairly simple. I know I'm not the first to try this, but I think that it came out well. Too bad there wasn't a kind of air intake ideal for this.

Tested ceiling is 93,000 feet.

    It may be simple, but it looks good.

    Also, it actually flies quite well at 70,000'+

    He actually avoids most of the dumb mistakes of U-2 builds in SP...like making a tricycle gear. Shape is generally correct, as well.
