  8. It can be done, but there willbe an incident in the future when musle/ or finger memory will save your model. If you are actively thinking your flying on one of 2 modes, your reaction time will be slower, you'll lose a model as a result.
  9. I have a rant, unfortunantly for you guys, this is the only avaition forum i use regularly!!..... Feel free to agree or disagree!! RANT START: The new modernisation of stansteds airport building is a complete sham! It was my favourite airport as it was so light, easy to navigate, you always knew where you were, and was quick and efficent to pass through. Now its complete 'insert word' Apparently modernisation and improvement now means it has to have a very long protracted route snaking its way through duty free and purfume stalls at the end of which you emerge smelling like a hookers handbag, not knowing what way you face or where you are as the lowered false ceiling blocks your view of the primary structure and daylight above. Everything made worse than it sounds by tired travellers and families walking slow or sitting in a very narrow route due to there being an insufficient number of seating areas! Complete hand over to additional money making! ( from what i.ll guess as new owners or operators) At the expense of all fare paying travellers! The worse effected is the frequent traveller or user of this airport! I.e. me! the orginal designer MUST BE horrified..... Quote from norman fosters own website... Stansted , UK 1981 - 1991 Stansted Airport challenged all the rules of airport terminal design. It went back to the roots of modern air travel and literally stood conventional wisdom on its head. The earliest airport buildings were very simple: on one side there was a road and on the other a field where aircraft landed into the wind. The route from landside to airside involved a walk from your car through the terminal and out to your plane, which was always in view. Stansted attempted to recapture the clarity of those early airfields, together with some of the lost romance of air travel. RANT END
  10. Thats major dissappointment! I hope the new owners are cooperative! K
  11. Not sacrilege, just silly. Mags say you should do that so when you need to rebuild you buy another copy! Copy and cut up as much as you want!

  14. Posted by Tom Sharp 2 on 25/12/2015 01:12:51: Long before 'Some mothers do ave em' Michael starred in 'That Was The Week That Was'. There he played the part of Byron the producers younger brother. Sitting astride a Lambretta scooter, he gave an archaic young persons view of the week's affairs. ...yours disappointed! That was a vespa in the utube clip!!! Kk, also a scooterist!

  20. Posted by Peter Android on 06/12/2015 16:53:14: **LINK** Geoffrey de Havilland said that if an aircraft looks right, it usually flies right. And this was the most beautiful aeroplane he ever built. And the best British (at the least!) aircraft of the war For over 25 years, no Mosquito flew anywhere in the world, after the last flying one crashed at Barton Aerodrome, Manchester . That was largely because nobody wanted to trust the 50-year-old-plus balsa wood and especially glue in the ones that remained. (made with western plywood) Then a chap in New Zealand, realising that the only way a Mossie would ever fly again would be to build a new one, discovered that all the original jigs necessary to form the wooden structures, had long since been destroyed. So, as a "retirement project," (!) he set out to build new ones, faithful to the originals in every respect. Took him decades. What follows is the first result to come from those jigs. First flew in NZ in 2013, now in the USA . Best aircraft of the war? :- · Could carry a greater bomb load to Berlin than a B-17 · Could fly higher and/or faster than nearly all contemporary fighters, so no need for defensive armament · The first true Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA). Bomber, fighter, night-fighter, fighter-bomber, strike, anti-shipping, torpedo-bomber, photo-recce, trainer, target-tug. · 1/10th the loss rate of the Lancaster · On the relatively rare occasions when one did go down, only 2 men were lost, not the 7 in a Lancaster or the 10 in a B-17 · 1/3rd the cost of a Lancaster · So fast that the Americans, to avoid comparison, issued a standing order that their fastest fighter, the P-38 Lightning, was never to fly side-by-side with one, · Quotes: o AVM Don “Pathfinder” Bennett, AOC No 8 (Pathfinder) Group: "It's quite clear that the value of the Mosquito to the war effort is significantly greater than that of any other aircraft in the history of aviation". o General Erhard Milch, the deputy head of the Luftwaffe: "I fear that one day the British will start attacking with masses of this aircraft" – (which we should have.) o Reichsmarschall Herman Goering, head of the Luftwaffe: “It Edited By Pete B - Moderator on 06/12/2015 17:41:10 Go on.......
