Hi CAsniffer,

Yes it has worked before, maybe some months back it stopped working. I have tried to reach your site from different computers and from home and work. No luck. I checked what DNS servers are in use in my hardware router/firewall and it is two DNS servers that are automatically used from my ISP, in my case 195.67.199.27 as primary and 195.67.199.28 as secondary DNS server. I changed to Google DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but I can not still reach Your site. I have not a clue what may be wrong.

I saw an Ultra Sport in the image base. Is the Ultra Sport considered a classic pattern ship?

RE: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base
 

Brian,
You'll probably see a few planes out there that wouldn't qualify as a classic pattern plane. The UltraSport owes it's shape to some of the earlier designs. I put some of the later designs (post 1980) out there for comparison and because someone sent the picture to me.
Early in the site's life, I asked visitors to suggest a qualifying cut-off date but did not receive any input. I guess I wing it when it comes to candidates and if it looks classic, I'll add it.

Thanks for visiting the site and for your input.

I'm curious as to the general concensus. The US is just a fancy Kaos. I'd lIke to know- personaly.

Hi Ca sniffer,

I want to thank you for the marvelous data base. I noticed that many of the links to articles and plans that used to work for me don't anymore. Is anyone having that problem. I loved reading the old articles!

Thanks again

Chuck

The links to the plans and Construction articles is also dead :(

If you open a command prompt and ping trentonrcflyers.com, what IP address do you get?
With Windows XP, click Start, run and in the run box, type cmd. It should open a DOS command prompt window. Type ping trentonrcflyers.com.
With Windows 7, Click on the start icon, and enter cmd in the search box, type cmd and ping trentonrcflyers.com.

Thanks

RE: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base
 

Hi,

When I ping trentonrcflyers.com (or www.trentonrcflyers.com) it sends signal to 216.186.228.99 but I get timeout.

Does anyone know the origin of the "Gladiator" pattern plane ? I only know it was kitted in the US..

RE: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base
 

The site opens fine for me. (The link from "bems" post above is not correct though) BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ARTICLE LINKS?? They haven't worked for a while? http://www.trentonrcflyers.com/patte...structions.htm
Thanks

No response to ping doesn't mean much these days. Many sites filter ICMP which ping is part of. The filtering arguably doesn't accomplish much, if anything, but it has become usual practice.

It appears that the site is inaccessible from Europe. Time for us to host a mirror on this side of the Atlantic? I hereby volunteer to do so.

Best regards to all,

George

George,

great to have an IT volunteer (professional?) on that side of the pond! Very generous of you to offer to host a Trenton pattern mirror that side of the Atlantic.

David.

So Greg,

how does she groove compared to your Tsunami? Power? Stability?

RE: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base
 

David,

I've had so many problems getting a reliable engine idle, I haven't focused on flight quality at all. Been back and forth between the Webra carb and the Perry carb. Came back to the Perry carb yesterday. Idle is not bad now, but not like I've gotten used to with my O.S. .55 and .75 AX's. High speed landings are just not very pretty. Plenty of power, even for verticals, with the Webra Speed .61. Most of the guys in my club haven't seen (or heard) one of these things run. Five flights so far, I'll keep working it.

Hi,

Today when I try http://www.trentonrcflyers.com it works fine for me! Have not worked for many many months before. Great to be able to browse through all the wonderful images again at Classic Pattern Planes image base.

/Bo,
I changed web hosting services early this week and apparently they were blocking requests from certain domains, even though they denied doing so. The site was down for a couple of days during the transition. I'm glad this fixed your issues. There were several other counties/domains that were restricted as well, so I expect their access was restored.

Thanks

Site is Fully working For me in Australia :D:D:D


Thanks CAsniffer

RE: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base
 

Works from Cyprus too... it's great to have this resource back!

RE: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base
 

Thanks casniffer, site works beautifully for me now. Such a valuable resource!

Chuck

RE: Classic Pattern Plane Image-base
 

I'm glad access to the site for the people/countries/domains that were affected has been restored. It's costing about $60.00 more a year, but I have more flexibility, bandwidth, storage, email addresses, etc. I just won't go out to lunch as often. :-)
I have quite a few plane pictures to add to the site. I'll try to get that done over the next week or so. I have to go buy a car some time in the next two weeks, so I'm doing tons of research. I hate the car-buying process.

Thanks

lavi rider,
The Gladiator was designed in the early 70's by Ralph Brookes from Seattle Washington. My wife and I kitted the plane doing buisness as "Fliteglas Models". We sold Fliteglas Models in about 1984. Ralph Brookes won the world championships twice (about 1962) with an earlier design called the Crusador.

I still have one of the kits in my collection. Plan to build it soon (maybe this winter). It is a great flying pattern ship.
