Main Image[edit]

Would this [1] be a better one ? --Jor70 (talk) 11:27, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flying image are normally prefered but that image would need to be cropped to reduce the size of the background. MilborneOne (talk) 13:17, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and added it. We can replace it with a trimmed version once it's uploaded. Btw, I hope not too much of the image is cropped, as the backgound is very nice, to me anyway. Probably about half way between the current edge ad the aircraft would be a goo point to crop to. I may try to get to it later today, once I have access to my photo editor, though I'm not certain how to note the cropping in the new image file. - BilCat (talk) 17:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That image has already been cropped! It might need just a bit more, but not much. - BilCat (talk) 20:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The C-1 and C-2 were always my favourites embarked aircraft, anyway, there is some confusion in this article about the C-1 having an enlarged fuselage in comparison to the S-2. From this picture [2] (and our new one) the C-1 seems to be a bit fat. Also their Specifications said the S-2 is in fact longer, wider and taller (?) --Jor70 (talk) 19:39, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Enlarged fuselage" is somewhat vauge as to which dimensions of the fuselage were changed, and usually depends on the context for clarity. It can refer to the fuselage being "lengthened", in addition to its width/heighth/diameter, but not always. Also, the C-1 appears to be based on the earlier models of the S-2; the later models (S-2D onward) had a longer fuselage and wings and larger tail surfaces. I'll see if I can find some sources that lcarify exactly what dimensions of the fuselage were enlarged on the C-1. - BilCat (talk) 20:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
