Just been looking at the website pics.

It was interesting that the prop shaft runs down the port side of the fuselage past the pilot.....and there was me thinking it went between his legs.....wince !

Presumably the pilot would not have seen very much forwards, but does anyone know what kind of view a pilot in that position would have had, especially if it had become a fighter ?

And how effective is a 60 degree V-tail in providing lift and/or directional stability, and would a similar arrangement work if the wings were built the same way, but the other way up with the third plane being the vertical fin......would enough lift be provided if the wings were set at 60 degrees to each other.....if you know what I mean ?
