Hi Dick,

Do you have a photo of the airplane? Was the airplane a modified TiPo so that the height was the same and the fuse increased in width - more details please... I have always wondered about it. Certainly the deep fuselages of today are due to the ability (or need) of the airplane to generate a lot of side force with a small sideslip angle. It helps keep the coupling effects down during maneuvers.
