Default Re: Standard's deployable wing vs. SRT's fixed wing

Most everyone agrees that the fixed wing is not very aesthetic. I was one of them. But now that I have one, I no longer agree.

It is not that I am growing fond of it over time, but there is something about the SRT wing that I am not sure that everyone knows:

The fixed wing's surface exactly matches the hood. It has the same 6 grooves and central spine that the hood has. It is stunningly beautiful in person. It really needs to be seen for real to be appreciated. I just did a google image search for "srt crossfire" and noticed that very few pics show the detail.

I believe that many people, including me at one point, are making judgments from pictures. Once you see one in person, you just may change your mind.

But I do agree that even though I think the fixed looks nicer than the deployable, the deployable is much cooler to demonstrate and show off. It looks a little gimmicky, but it sure is pretty cool at the same time!
