Hello Ivan,
My version would also tie in with an early model performance, so following your recommendations, I expect the good table to go by is the one which is hand-pencilled in blue.
Yours had a stronger turbosupercharger, tuned more for "high-altitude" speed. The numbers for mine have to be slightly lower (306 and 362 mph), but I havenŽt done any further adjustments to the .air file yet. At the moment they are at 334 and 380 mph, much too fast!
Then, following your original suggestions, I looked for and found a huge set of nine Paul Matt drawings at The Blueprints.com, with top, bottom, front, back, side-flying, side on ground, with nothing under-fuselage, with extra tank, and with bomb views.
They are different Q-models, with a 4-bladed prop, but that shouldnŽt affect the basic shape, I suppose. The shape is the same as on the 2 before and after stretching overlay drawings you posted a while back. At least it hasnŽt got the straight edged fin of the pink pinball!
Re. flaps: I hadnŽt tried out my planned "easy" flap modification until just now, and I hadnŽt dealt with the wing-root or any other bleeds yet, and these are quite apparent.
The results are like you said, so IŽll re-think that after wing-roots and wings are correctly placed.
IŽve dropped all wing-root parts to the new belly-line by 0.46 ft (I didnŽt shift the components - this goes against my principles!), and now the wing parts will follow. However, wing-tips must drop only 0.24 ft, so that will take some doing!
All top parts of the landing-gear struts will need adjusting too.
Actually, the only components I shifted down a bit were the tailplanes, because they were already shifted, so it would have been too laborious to un-shift them first... anyway, no matter!
The modelŽs getting the look more and more - it had already started doing so with your main modifications a while back, and now itŽs doing more so!
More later, as weŽre off to the farmerŽs market.
ItŽs finally sunny, not dull rainy and cloudy any longer, since yeasterday afternoon.
About time summer came too! They say itŽs the old governmentŽs fault - they did so many cut-backs that they also cut back on spring and summer!!
Cheers,
