Lower three photos, the top wing mounted Lewis gun not fitted as these were the first test flights and a mistake on landing can result in the model turning over on its back, the Lewis gun is the first thing to hit the ground with obvious results.
Because there has been no gun fitted the landings so far have all been perfect!!.
