Dear Mr. Hives.

I enclose print
which I thought you might like
to see - It depicts the recent
wind tunnel findings at Bristol,
but before I make a new model
for further tests I should be
most grateful for any suggestions
by return - as to how I could
improve the model as regards
drag & stability -
I am arranging to drive
the front wheels at 2500 rpm.
with electric motor in model.
