Greetings all;

I have had a PM concerning the dead astern view. You will note the rudder and tail fin are cantered off center near the forward area of the horizontal tail unit. The was an original factory design. Most Fokker fighter had this feature. It allowed for a bit more stability in rudder operations over all.
