Deceptive silhouette - is it a high-wing?
First prototype was shoulder-wing, thence high wing.

This is the first prototype.

Moving buildings now - back very shortly.

That's what Graeme asked and I said he was getting close.

Certainly is eastern Europe.

Have to go shortly.

If that's a high wing I assume it's cantilevered.

er no.... looking at the fillets more like mid or low wing.
