Good one, Jim!

[ARUP]

Thanks for looking, Dion! If they end up being 'quirky' well... blame the original designer!

[Dion Dunn]

Really like the lines of this one Michael. Less quirky than your previous classics, but just as unique!

Parabola 2.0 sounds great! As a former B-2 Crew Chief, flying wings really get my attention.

I was thinking of doing another (better) one for next years Monticello tow. Uploaded a short video to Youtube of the first one.

Keep working Mike, you have a lot of parts to draw!

[JimD]

After plotting them all I used a French curve and English curse words to draw the foils!

Al, how are ya, buddy? I started off in engineering but absolutely could not stand the computer programming stuff... punch cards, FORTRAN, MSDOS, PASCAL, you name it... I hated it! I learned 'em all. Looking back, maybe, architecture would have been more suitable??? Design??? Anything that didn't require computer stuff if that's possible. I always liked 'art stuff' but my color vision is off. Oh well... I sure like building these model airplanes!

[ARUP]

ChrisL, thanks for the very kind words! I really appreciate it! Did I see a vid of that Parabola Flying wing you are holding once upon a time? THAT'S cool!

[Al_M]

Mike, you should have been an engineer! Excellent work. Eagerly lurking.

[ChrisL]

Awesome stuff Mike. Everyone of your builds is a work of ART!

Hi there. I'm still around. Just have not much time to build or fly. I always enjoy your builds. keep it up!

[ARUP]

Hello Petr, where've ya been? Glad to see you're still around! Old school... that's me. I don't 'cotton' to computers very much. I enjoy figuring things out and learning how to do things without them.

[ARUP]

Pat, thanks for the link! Sure is a beauty!

[Swiss1]

I'll take the Drawing Board, T Square, Set Square and French Curves any day over a computer!

[stihac]

Love it Mike!
Old school bird build old school way. I'll be following the build for sure.
