Naw, we understand, you won't be happy with any shortcuts.

I on the other hand love shortcuts. Another reason I will never be as good as you, Black, but I am trying.

I agree, so far your attention to detail has been amazing. Don't let up on it. I know I would be the same way; which is why I'm hesitant to start a project of this magnitude. I still need my sanity for a few more years.

I don't know; instability, blackouts, dizzy spells, disorientation, kind of makes a nice break in the day Maj.

Haha I hear ya. Kinda breaks up the monotony of the day eh?

I get those. Is it the glue or the insanity?

Hey, Black, where ya at? Jonesing here for some more pics!

I needed a bit of a break. I found my last work getting a tad sloppy. I'll be doing some building this weekend.

Jonesing?

Yes.

Yeah, as in need " need my fix so better have my money!"

..Through rain, sleet, or snow..

"Jonesing" as in Indiana Jones. "1. To have a strong desire to go Indiana. 2. To have a strong desire to use a whip, find artifacts, and sleep with countless babes." Now that is a stretch even for urban slang,

Well, I have been a cop for 22 years. We equate it with tweakers and coke heads. I do not have a drug problem, just saying......

Well you brought it up; I had to google it to find out the meaning. Right now ''Martini'' in hand (legal drug if you're not driving) I am trying to figure out what is the purpose of this discourse other than to take away from the fact that I don't have anything to post as far as progress on this project????

We watch for new posts to your thread, hoping some new mystery will be revealed, but then we sadly find someone else's post. Then we reply to the other poster, hoping to get your attention. It's sad really. Sorry.

What he said...

Mien 'Gott' I had no idea I've let down my loyal cadre forgive me this transgression; updates coming forthwith.

After much rebuilding and modification I seem to be on the right track regarding the wings. It is not too apparent in the photos but the leading edge of the wing tapers forward giving a nod to the necessity for an airfoil on a lifting surface. Of course the 'wing' (for lack of a better term) has all the aerodynamics of a truncated brick but that's the way the rendering looks.

Now I can proceed on the other wing.

Looking good, Blackadder. Exalt +1 from me.

dsteingass summed it up perfectly. I wish there was a way to subscribe so you were only notified when the OP posted. I want to know when more Black Adder-ey goodness is up!

I'm glad I found this thread again. I thought I was subscribed, but alas I was not. I was just thinking the other day "whatever happened to that thread where the guy was putting in a working sewer system into a Thunderhawk?" I exagerate of course, but I lost track of this thread when you were still putting an amazing amount of detail into the air brake doors. Now I need to go back and catch up. As always, great stuff!

You must be thinking of Pierre Francois de la Brioche the designer of the sewers of Paris according to the late great waste pipe authority; DPSE Edward Norton.

Do what I do and institute a "Blackadder" search on the forum. I always put my sobriquet in the title for that very purpose.

The Blackadder, no fool he............

And you thought I included my nom de plume out of sheer Donald Trumpism,

The devious Blackadder

how much would you sell one of these babies for

Off hand I'd say your fist and second born, seriously I could never bring myself to make another as there are so many pending projects in mind.

Sorry

Its cool...hey I don't have any kids yet, you wanna wife? jk.

Send pictures.

I too just re-found this thread... YAY!

The wings as I build them are difficult to assemble building as I did virtually inside out. There is a lot of guestimation as to where to put the internal substrate i.e. the internal panels, then there is the problem of gluing and clamping in place in the confined area (8MM) between the wing upper and lower panels. There has to be an easier way to accomplish this but I can't perceive it.

We have faith in you.

Yep.

I figured out how Blackadder gets his posting numbers up so high. He stalls a project until we get bored and comment on where the heck he is and when are the next pictures are coming.
