  Thanks Carlos,

The 3-view of the P.B.31E is the same as in Bruce's book. It shows the same 
sweep-back I cannot find on any of the pictures. From an R/C modeller's point 
of view, the P.B.31E is not equally beautiful as the P.B.29E because the 
tractor arrangement will be less efficient than the pusher (but it would make 
getting the center of gravity right easier) and the much higher center of 
gravity will make the plane much more prone to nose-overs. Furthermore, Pete 
Angus has already built and flown one successfully on www.rcgroups.com (can't 
find the thread at the moment).

Cheers
