Two photos of Hughes S-43 before crash in Lake Mead and after crash. Notice the original S-43 had twin tail fins. After rebuild had single tail.

Bill, those are great pictures!

Thank you for sharing.

Was the landing gear left locked in the down position during flight?

Saludos,

Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Tulio,
yes the landing gear was locked down for the short flight from Ellington Field to La Porte.

Thanks Bill!
Great photos. You've proven that all that lovely interior detail I put into my model is just wrong.

Still, no-one will really know, I'll just try and get the finger out and finish it!
Thanks again.
