Yep, pretty convincing Glenn, but as you say, not the same; in my pic there are two bracing wires, not one. Some clever clogs has already beaten you all to it, though...

Yea, I saw the double wires, and also the strut attachment looks a little different, but it was just too close not to give it a shot.

That was a toughfie. The top of the N strut was what finally gave it away. Let's try this

Looks more like a wingtip to me, I can't see a rudder line. That said, no clue as usual, though I'm going to guess a British prototype.

No, I'll tell you it is a single engined high wing plane and designed in the US And that is in fact the very top of a fin.

I haven't been able to match it to anything yet, but I think the picture was taken in one of the main gallery's of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum

It is manned and civil, not a berkut, this last clue should give it away. It has no rudder, elevators, or ailerons
