Damn william and his beyond uber runways. (even if he does glow a bit after flying eheh)



HMMM Little flags eh? I'll have to think about that! MUAHAH You DON'T want me to get started on something. I don't own the park or the airfield, but I will certainly grab some sticks and place them little flags about the area. I think about 20 or so should do. Not to mention, when you rip out those little flags, ...it keeps them survey guys in business. :P

Btw, as per Tom's recommendation, I am bumping my build thread with an update. Finished the top wing...FINALLY. Constant reshaping - filling - sanding...repeating. Still not smooth but it's got the shape I need.
The box the wood came in is very very thin. Alas I think I am almost done. I DID however think of a MAJOR problem I foresee in the futa'. BAD times ahead gents. Think about that FUSE nose, all solid block. How in god's name am I going to get an engine in there EVEN if it WILL fit to the firewall!? What I am thinking of doing is basically what you see in real airplanes. If you are not familiar what I speak of, there are 'snaps' ...clasps that hold sections of the fuse nose together. So, I would probably have to hinge and clasp the entire thing. Not to mention it may add something to please the eye, and will allow me to get into it to work on it or rip it out if I need to.
