Fairey Flycatcher Accuracy

As I recall, the fuselage was lengthened somewhat from the original design as there were concerns that the original design was too closely coupled

Somewhere I have the artical about the build and test flying of the replica Flycatcher but cannot find it, so from memory I think the fuselage was lengthened forward of the wing to address a CofG problem, caused by the lighter engine.

There was an article about its building some years ago in the Aeroplane monthly.
