Nick,

Ditto the Tabloid and the Babies that were on wheels.

Here is the Tabloid on wheels, and I do have these drawings. My thoughts recently are to do both undercarriages for the project, (wheels as well as floats).

1, to make sure there is enough uumph to drag the floats up into the air and,

2 to give the plane options.

I happen to like this gear configuration with the skids, it gives the machine a bit of an archaic presence!

When I finish this, I'll be able to sit in it at the nursing home!
