[NSRCA-dist8] Option-160

[Rex]

It should be easier to see simply from the stand point that it's bigger than the 120...

It might be harder to see the far wing in a 45 because the fuse is so big, but all the new

big body planes are like that.  The far wing on the Twister just disappears on center down 45s.
