Hi Will,

I think you need Paul Matt's drawings of the Fireball contained in Volume II. The drawings contain pertinent airfoil sections for the wing and rudder and show the intake geometry in enough detail to alleviate any second thoughts...,

Anyone else feel free to jump in if you know something. Or if anyone is close to Chino and the Planes of Fame Museum and can get some good pics of their Fireball that would be helpful. The one area of the plane I haven't seen any pictures of yet in my searching is the cockpit, so again any help is appreciated.

On intake detail see PM - answers several detail issues.

Have fun and Merry Christmas!
