  1. It'd look a lot meaner with retractable gear rather than those 2 ugly bathtubs hanging under it.

    By the way CW I hope you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

  2. Looking at the rudder in that picture made me want a better view. Google has many pictures including several museum examples in color. Wonder if the way the fabric is stretched and doped is deliberate or reflects the quality of the materials. Maybe an attempt to reduce weight at the expense of durability?
