When you look at those wing struts - eight and a bit per wing - and wonder, what are they made with and how much does each weigh. Boy you had to have a lot of faith to fly something like that smile.gif .

But it flew. Must have been the chubby fuselage providing extra lift - this same theory extends to humans too, so I've heard.
