About this 3D model

At the scale and resolution I was printing, the struts and part of the vertical stabilizer dropped out. My eight-year-old son was satisfied with the result, but I wanted to improve it... . I pulled stumpwimple's nice biplane STL into OpenSCAD and imposed some changes on top of it: a simplified strut configuration for printing at lower resolution, and I also added landing gear. Ben, I hope you don't mind! It looks as though you had a specific prototype in mind, and I've mundged a couple of different "bipes" together in my remix. At full scale with a .5 extruder it's still on the very edge of resolution for my hardware; scaling up by at least 10% would probably help. NOTE TO READERS: If you want to run this thing, you'll need to grab stumpwimple's STL (http://www.thingiverse.com/download:445546) and put it in the same directory as my SCAD: I don't think it's ethical to push another person's code into my post!
