Peculiar indeed, now that I take a good look at it, it looks kinda like one of those little gold-fishy snack thingys.  :D

Awesome aircraft, it just looks like it shouldn't be able to fly though. Very nice pics of it.

It's pretty much just a giant engine with some wood and fabric around it. ;D

I don't know why, but I love the look of this plane.

Great shots. The only hting that hurts them are jaggies in the paint, but that is probably just due to the angle of the "camera" in relation to the plane. I don't know why, but that happens to me with some planes as well.

What amazes me is how they even kept the CG behind the engine in that plane - must have been a thrill to fly  :).
