Believe they are doing some USN film work for training. All you pic hoards take note. That N3N is titled wrong. Its titled as a -1 but its actually the only -2 built #0265.....with a -1 rudder installed.

Did not post this but I know this because the -1 and -2 and -3 all had different tail designs. The -1 had the horizontal mounted much lower with the support strut attaching to the vertical. Because of a tail heavy issue, they raised the horizontal to the location seen on the -2 in the pic. You can see that it has a support strut that goes to the bottom of the fuselage. Since the -2 had seen a improvement but still had tail issues. The -3 tail was reconfigured as a bigger rudder but the Horizontal stayed at the same location in relation to the fuselage and the bottom wing.

There, you guys learned some N3N stuff............now go impress those stearman guys :snipe:
