:hesaid: but clever

Well, the conference is going ahead, accommodation is booked, and the flights...just hope they don't cancel. (flights) Would be great to catch up with you chaps. Work was good with the time off, I have enough hours to cover this...still waiting to see how I go with Omaka next year. I get 13 hours per pay cycle (monthly) not sure how they came up with 13, but I reckon I'll have enough to cover a few days in February.

There is a difference and that is how you go about it, it is an INVENTION. Such glasses can already be manufactured. For other people as mentioned to Create such devices they would require the same INVENTION in order to achieve it. So new Pilots Glasses have a HELMET MOUNTED DISPLAY but on glasses, and would feature NIGHT VISION as well as zoom. With these you would see other aircraft even in White out conditions and you can see the runway or a ship that is moving even in White Out conditions. Such information can be projected holographically onto the windows. :plane:

Thanks for the thoughts gents, I'm back at work, but it's hard going at the moment...I think age plays a part here as well.

No it is a device that connects to the Turbine and spins the Turbines while the throttle is at idle or off. It has more power than the engines max thrust so long haul would require less fuel and if the aircraft ran out of fuel it can still fly with the new device. :plane:

Reminds me of that giant space cruiser in the movie Wall-E And I would like clarification of the term 'drop off anyone on board' ?

True on both counts. Extraordinary, and difficult to believe , but there's promise.

Sanding the wheels? Yes

The longest... WTH is 85F

It's a slow process: I get a trade magazine sent to me, which this month extolled its Green Virtue because the mailing wrapper, including address window, is now Fully Recyclable ! Thing is, it's available a week prior, online.

Charl, I think we have been down this path in the past, and I never tire of being given a chance to revive it, but this time you have done it. When does engineering become an art...easy, when it's a Ferrari, of course. As you mention, decades of design are manifested in this offering. LOOK at it !! Borders on Quantum thinking...a solid being fluid ...at the same time. Re the limited edition 1/8 scale model ...if I could I surely would.

Not sure what you refer to Subs sorry. It comes across as though somebody lost an Army, that is just my impression. So Orwellian and the more closed up and CONTROLLED a Society it is the less Happy they are. An unhappy Society always eventually turns against their oppressors. I hate the oppression in New Zealand, it is thoroughly disgusting.

Chopper Nut, Thanks for interesting answers. The funny thing is I cannot even remember the 20th century price of paint brushes used for painting model planes and model tanks. Regards, Aharon

Got "a lot more" where those came from too :) Mark C AKL/NZ
