Bob I have been talking to you for a few years now and since I got to meet you at KY Jets it was great you brought the Thud and I brought the Little Thud , and I will never forget your reaction when I asked you about the B-1. You told me in July you was going to destroy it and make a video of it I knew then that there was something deeper into that subject than you was letting out. But In your defense you was very polite to me and told me about how many emails you answer a day about it . The Bomber belongs to he who created it. You introduced me to Paul and Butch and after I assisted you guys in the CG and flight characteristics on the F-105 and I know from experience that I would not want anything I scratch built falling into the hands of someone who is going to copy it and sell it for less. I am still hammering on my 108" Su-47 and I have no intentions of selling one Sharp pencil asked me about it at Ky Jets and I plan on bringing it there . So Bob , keep doing what you believe is right and I know you will get it the way you want it "10 mins at a time" look forward to seeing you at the jet events this year John

Status: offline 		Anyone ever thought that the another big player in the demise/sell of the B1 prototype is b/c of the sheer SIZE of the thing. I mean it appears that Bob is working in little more than a 2 car garage. When you get a model that size AND the PLug/molds as well.. Space fills up quickly. Oh, and he's got all his other models and the 10- F105's he is working on. The poor guy is probably playing twister just to get around his shop!

Do what you want Bob, those who are interested and ready to see this project (and have any sort of realization of what it really takes to make a flying one) realize that the first model is a 50/50 chance on if its going to actually fly or not. And with the size of this thing the chance's of the prototype's success was probably much less due to it being a huge "unknown" in the modeling community..

Keep doing what your doing and enjoy it. Hell, I say make it a chuck glider.. just find a really big mountain to chuck it off of

Status: offline 		I haven't keep up up with Bob much lately tell my email blow up but hay if it makes him fell better my B1B mold's went to the trash as well. It's not that I gave up just going to redo it at least his molds are still good and thats where the money is.
If I could get a smaller scale cnc foam plug like Bob did I would consider building a smaller prototype mold that I know Is straight and true to scale and shape like Bobs. I think it would be a good idea to build a smaller one built just like Bobs and fly that first well the fist one would have to be props like mine tell you know you got the CG right then put the EDF's on. I did mine that way to save money and time I know it was going to crash and way crash high dollar EDF's and engine pods.
Just like Bobs I mean the angle of the wings shape of the wings and the shape of his fuse not the scale flaps no bomb bay keep it cheap a simple times are hard

If I could get my hands on a nice plug I would make Bob and Butch as many smaller B1's as they needed for test flights
lot cheaper about 200.00 for the plane and 500 or so for the power set up and servos

Status: offline 		I don't see what the problem is here man No point in putting an R/C plane in a museum if it did'nt fly or could'nt fly. It's just a bunch of glass then that has'nt done anything. I've always said it aint no plane till it's been in the air and landed. And anyway Bobs B1 project aint dead it's still a live project just cause some glass got put in the bucket don't mean the project is dead. You all talking like it's all over. If Bob thinks it's a bad airframe and doesn't wanna put it in the air he's probably made a tough and wise decision to kill it there and then. I donated a small amount of money not that, that means anything but I would have done the same thing Bob. I would'nt let someone have the opertunity to copy your work or let it sit in some museum and never fly. Lockhead Martin, Boeing and Cessna all have done the same it's just called development. Part of the project. I gained more than my donation back in the knowledge that Bob has given out alone. Go for it Bob build the new one lighter, stronger more rigid and more efficient. BAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Bob we need you back, was looking forward to seeing that turboprop P51 being done.

Status: offline 		Maybe the guy hosting the site is done. Maybe to much ban width to expensive just some guesses. I do hope he gets back to the B1 someday. It is a beautiful model and what a story if it were to fly. I for one would make the trip to see it go!!

Status: offline 		I don't think Bobtv is going off the air he gets compensation from youtube for some of his videos, the extra income helps with his many projects, unless he has a better deal from someone else. Stay tuned Bob enjoys what he does and I am sure he will chime in and set the record straight...

Status: online 		The latest video showing the Box of T shirts he got and the CARF P51 fuse that he was talking about fitting a turboprop into has disappeared so suspect it may have something to do with that.
If someone has upset our Bob then they need to sort it out quick, we need a regular fix of Bob TV, starting to get the shakes already!
