Stock SSTO X-Wing and Y-Wing

[Foxster]

Was messing about making something that looked like a Star Wars Y-Wing and then thought it would make a pretty good SSTO...

Here's the matching X-Wing...

Looks really good dude! The elevens are hardly noticeable so if they are necessary for control I say keep them until a better solution arises.

What sorcery was used to connect the RAPIERs with nothing but struts?

Just the offset tool to move the RAPIER back from the attachment point on the rear of the fuel tank. Then a little round nosecone thingy was put on the back of the RAPIER and offset to the back of the fuel tank. Which actually means that it is a streamlined stack with low drag. 

I don't like the idea of making a mock-up unless it is functional too. Both craft are pretty good SSTOs.
