Thought you must have left them off...its a dead ringer otherwise.
Now would I do that? I think you're having a crack at my cartoon drawings!

Here's the Nagler...now look at that tail...did I draw it like that?

Is there a shrouded fan at the back?
Nope.

its ability to fly seems a little limited.
Thirty mile range.

Would I do that....the rotor may have been rotating at the time

Your picture of the Nagler is far better than the one I found on the net!

Was/is it a downhill racer?

Thirty mile range
Is it therefore electrically powered?

Well it's not very big! Not my fault!

Wicki says "tethered flight" so maybe it didn't even get to thirty miles?

Silhouette Challenge
You got your silhouette (thanks to you ) now stop giving me a hard time.

Oh, I dunno, would you call the Piasecki VZ-8P an aeroplane? I think we had that one, by Martin?

Well I'm flicked. That's all I've got from this French magazine directory.

How'd I do?
