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 havenīt 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 shouldnīt 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 hasnīt got the straight edged fin of the pink pinball!
Re. flaps: I hadnīt tried out my planned "easy" flap modification until just now, and I hadnīt dealt with the wing-root or any other bleeds yet, and these are quite apparent.
The results are like you said, so Iīll re-think that after wing-roots and wings are correctly placed.
Iīve dropped all wing-root parts to the new belly-line by 0.46 ft (I didnīt 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 modelīs getting the look more and more - it had already started doing so with your main modifications a while back, and now itīs doing more so!
More later, as weīre off to the farmerīs market.
Itīs finally sunny, not dull rainy and cloudy any longer, since yeasterday afternoon.
About time summer came too! They say itīs the old governmentīs fault - they did so many cut-backs that they also cut back on spring and summer!!
Cheers,
