1. What does the blue and red tail section top center belong to (apart from “me”)? Some kind of glider?
2. The black thing that looks like a bowling pin, bottom left? 2 extra points for make and function? Vacuum attachment for blowing?
3. Related to #2 above, the tin thing beside it? I want to say a light fixture reflector...
3. Left edge, middle height – what type of aircraft does that balsa prop belong to? I don't see a prop...
4. Name the un-built or partially built kits on the top left of the shelves. One point each. AGWS something, a phoenix (nice), a kadet and 4 I don't knows, one maybe a Balsa USA Enforcer or Force 1...
5. The grey thingie hanging into the top edge, just left of center. flying saucer
6. Top right, the strange aft section – from what? rocket
7. Barely visible above the day-glo scrap of green covering visible at about 2:30 – what built-but-not-covered ½A kit is that (which should have been finished about 5 months ago you slow poke!)? (2 points) yeah right!
7. The round yellow object hanging top left? (10 points for this one! [edit - make it 50 points!!] ) a bucket?
Okay I'll grade you and then I'll trash everyone else for not playing.
1. Birdie .10 (there's more of it in the other pictures, the tail surfaces look fairly distinctive) NOTE: this is definitely ON topic - I am coverting it to .35 power (it's only an OS Max, not a BSE Jett
). The fuselage is the same size and just as beefy as many Q500's, way too heavy for a .10 powered aircraft. The high-ish aspect ratio wings worry me, I might slice off one outer bay.
2. Gotcha, it's a trumpet mute, electronic one with a pickup mic actually
3. Ancient tin trumpet mute (okay who the heck except a player would know, but I had to be mean and stupid)
3. A old A-frame rubber pusher model. I knew what it was, but I live there so I guess that's cheating.
4. Kadet, Phoenix, two Doddgers, GWS Mustang, Herr Aqua-Star, Graupner Loop parkie, Laser Arrow (skeleton above), and I don't even know what those two plain white boxes on the right are, better go look.
5. Cox Flying Saucer (easy)
6. Yup rocket. Some stupid spaceship thingie, forget the name.
7. It's one of PTulmers's Blinks, waiting for VA .049 power and covering. Now that the shop is tidy-ish..
7. Good luck - it is a Pains-Wessex line-throwing rocket canister, for ship-to-shore or ship-to-ship rescue. I know you guys see those every day. But man, wait until we get a little water over the gunwhales of the canoe this summer, I'll be ready.
You win!
Oh and those are the only pictures of the aircraft at the moment, but if I make any progress I'll be sure to post.
Spring.. hello? Are you out there? Please?
