LM the nose is that way. There seem to be a wider area just below the nose. It is visible in other pictures, too. Maybe to deflect water at some point of manouvering. If you look carefully at the LH side, you see light reflections to show how it is.

You made it this fast?
Yes, from a Finnish blog.
They lack funds though... what's the market for one-seaters anyway?

All yours Lightning One!

Edit: nice photo sabredog!

sabredog, thanks, they seem to have the same "rondel" as in the challenge, too.

Found the very picture "Widgeon NC 722 Engaged in Fisherman Check on Sitkoh Lake, Southeast Alaska"

Thanks LM!

Have to do some sleeving which will take some time. Me Missus is having birthday, too, so I need to pay some attention there from time to time…..

Open House, to speed things up; I may take it up myself if there are no takers...
