Hello Colin...

How's 'winter' in NZ? Not too cold I hope.

Anyway, I was charmed by the copy of the 1933 article you referenced. One point of puzzlement is the reference to the 'downwash' from the rotor providing sufficient airflow across the elevator for control at high angles of attack.

Regards,
Billl
