This is a picture from AeroModeller May 1967 page 15 of JOD holding Hatband in his right hand and Frank Monts' Chicken Coop in his left.

I don't have the original issue of AM (this photo is taken from the copy of AM in the Plans Gallery).  I wondered whether anyone has that issue and if so:

  • could they look at the photo and see if it is clearer in the original as published  and
  • if it is, could they scan the photo at high resolution and send me a copy?
I'm particularly trying to understand where the fin is located.  Sometimes when I look at the photo, I think the fin is stuck to the inside of the starboard side (but that would make the plane turn left, which John didn't approve of), at other times I think it is stuck in the middle of the fuselage pointing straight forward.

This is the clearest photo I have of this point....
Many thanks in advance
All the best

I've got a scan but don't know how to attach to a PM, so pm me your email address and I'll send it. To be honest I don't think it adds much but it looks to me like the fin is centrally mounted, as you would expect.
