Hi Matt,Did you get out of Penfield and across to Sherlock?

I was stymied at West Sale greeted with 20kt winds with gusts of 30 on the ground

 

Not to mention the 45kt headwind I was going to encounter at 2500ft

 

Horsham AWIS also showed cloud down to 600ft and vis of 4000 meters up until around 10:30am

 

That put a stop on it for me

Because I can ..[ATTACH=full]50953[/ATTACH]

 

You guys need to stop worrying about the rivets, as with everything else, I have proven there's a plan.

I have to agree with Bex here in regards to the wings WAIT UNTILL ITS FINISHED to deside if she is pretty or pretty ugly. I just spent 7 hrs on a painting and my wife said " whats that crap?" Then 20 mins later she was amazed at the end result when the lil details went in in the final process. In saying that the CAD pic above looks pretty sweet to me And has a nice destiction anout it that stands out. I may be wierd but i actualky like it

Is this the one built by David Ecc?

Not sure? Member. ' Riley '. may know?

 

 

Hi TimGreat little film... love the character who sells you the Red Devil. Stoned and hungover on arrival. Clearly needs to brush up on his 'Human Factors'! ;)

 

I think your music was awesome. Did you use some kind of arranger keyboard to do the score? The strings sounded very authentic.

 

Alan

Thanks mate , I start with a melody on my guitar and/or keyboard. Then record it to iPad. and start accompanying with the iPad synthesiser , once happy I transfer to My PC and master it through A mastering suite ;) It's a long process but well worth it ...

 

 

Big thanks to a very generous rec flying member who kindly donated the Whing Ding II complete with original MC101B. Engine. After a couple months rebuilding her I finally got a chance to fire her up. Takes 2 people to get the little high compressioned engine spinning for start up. Lol

 

Needs fine tuning and some other teething probs but getting there
