Yes! Wow that second pic is atrocious. Please never draw ANY pterosaur like that ;)

Almost looks like they used a David Peters skeletal with the tiny skinny wings and frog feet.

lol not sure , just picked it up from google images..seemed to illustrate the point well.  but to clarify the leg position is right?  I've mostly done pterosaurs withe swept back legs.

I'm not sure there's any real studies on leg position, but I figure it would be adjustable during flight for braking, turning, diving, etc.

I'll have to give this some thought and see what would work best.  Thanks for being a sounding board and the help!
