Well by golly, I guess us Yanks missed something the readers of AERO MODELLER got and we didn't. Hey, sorry but we seldom saw that magazine over here in the 50s. And seldom saw airplanes like that in combat since we were moving to wings like the VooDoo. And we were flying 35 engines in combat. None of us screwed around with 15s unless we were planning to fly in WCs. And back then almost nobody even considered going where FAI was flown. chuckle.... what else?

And I'm sorry to have given wrong advice about the leadouts. I should have taken more time and given the whole suggestion, "move the leadouts backward or forward and try it, and if moving them one way doesn't help, move them the other." It's actually not a given which way moving them will affect the flying unless your airplane has no other problems. When it's got an unknown problem, you're trying stuff to troubleshoot and best not expect all the known solutions to work the way they're known to work.

Kewl copies of that article. It's actually quite a laugher for a Yank like me. Selling you guys on that airplane being a US combat design. If I remember correctly, most of Europe was flying diesels on combat planes about then weren't you? Truth is, about the only time we heard anything about Europe was every couple of years when there was a WC and a couple of Yanks would give it a try.

But hey, sorry about the bad advice.
