"This was the only prototype to be fitted with a rudder without the counter balance horn," Smith & Creek, Me 262 Volume Two, (1998), p. 391. Note the almost 90 degree angle to the bottom of this rudder.

420. Here, Karl Baur is sitting in the cockpit of "V167" with a good view of the EZ 42 Adler gunsight. It was intended to automatically calculate the deflection angle necessary to hit a target while both aircraft were manoeuvering. Note the heavy wearing of the camouflage paints where the pilot climbed into the cockpit.

421. The EZ 42 can also be seen in this photo. Faulty installation made the sight useless and it was locked "so as to function like a conventional fixed reflector sight," Smith & Creek, p. 332.
"By the end of March 1945 it had completed 303 flights totalling 50 hours, 25 minutes," Dan O'Connell, Me 262 Production Log, (2005). p. 31.
