RE: HIP POCKET by John Miller
Paul,
Excellent. I look forward to hearing back.
Not much to go on, but if I'd have to guess, the 60 and 40 share a very similar wing and stab planform. I wonder if he changed the aspect ratio of the model when going down to the 40 which I presume came after. The photo does seem to show a slightly longer fuse, proportionately, than the 40's. Top deck pipe too in all likelihood.
Mark's comment seems quite on. It does have Boot overtones. Rick thought the 40 looked a bit like a Compensator which is shorter than the Boot.
BTW, what's the deal on the Boot's vertical? Was it sheet balsa filleted into the glass fuse?
