A stream ofhot water taken from the carbureter heater runsthrough the rudder bar. The upper plane is at the height of the pilots eyes andthe straight line from the pilots eyes to the leadingedge of the lower plane is at an angle of 18 deg. with thevertical. The vision straight forward is excellent dueto the absence of a nose radiator. Cut out portions ofthe lower wing permit the pilot to see vertically down-ward. Cooling is by two Lamblin radiators placed underthe fuselage. The latter is designed for a factor ofsafety of The longerons are of ash and spruce coTi-. Borel pursuit airplane (300-&p.

A pivoted ashskid is attached to the stern of the fuselage. The 300 hp.

The two tanks which can be released instantly in caseof fire hold sufficient fuel for 2X2 hr. flight at full speedat ground level. There is a gravity tank in the upperwing. The radiators installed under the fuselage are quick-ly demountable. A filter is placed in the water circu-lation system. The gravity water tank is in the leadingedge of the cabane joining the fuselage and the upperwing. There are two Vickers machine guns with 1600 c
