Hi Graham,

Some google earth generated pictures of DNS and a couple of HH for comparison. Note that I have increased the elevation ratio to 2 for all images to exaggerate vertical.

The Pushy Cat isn't mine, sadly its only visiting

(I repaired it for flying buddy 'Rampage_ds' who flies it as a glider and has DSed it to about 130)

I am in the UK where they are available from www.south-coast-sailplanes.com. Don't know if any one sells them in the US. They are manufactured by x-models www.xmodels.it - so would have thought soaringusa.com would import them if enough interest (as they resell other x-model products such as the blade).
