And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Just can not figure out why the tipping wing assembly did not make into a production design. The test planes worked very well, was not exactly high tech, but geeze, ehat is wrong with that over the widow maker Osprey that costs disgusting money thats grounded more than it flies. Doesn't figure, no common sense, lets just produce the most expensive highest maintenance hour thing feasibly possible.
I presume the yellow hardware is to hold the plane on the ground?
