Sic-m George!!!!
I'd like to know the book, issue date and page number that you're
talking about. When I get around
to painting my coupe I'd like to put the smallest numbers possible on the
vertical fins in front of the
rudders and I'd like to know where it's quoted that I can post them
'verticaly' instead of horizontaly.
No hurry, just whenever you get around to looking it up.
Thanks in advance,
