[Land-speed] New LSR

["Kirkwood" <saltfever@comcast.net>]

It appears that the outrigger is on the UPWIND side. You can see this by the
upward bending in the strut, leaning of the vertical wing, and the dust
blowing down-wind. Why isn't it on the down-wind side? To offset blow-over
forces you have to add a lot of weight as wells as build in down-force (with
the corresponding DRAG) on the strut. If he was heading in the other
direction the strut could be built with less drag and ballast?  Interesting!
