Right gents here's the draft rules for your perusal. Couple of weeks to sort out/confirm before we kick off.
Chris
1. This GB runs from the 1st July 2019 until midnight of 30th September 2019, all timings are local.
Extensions will be considered in the normal way nearer the date.
2. Quite simply your build must include/involve the addition of an engine/engines or the subtraction of an engine/engines from whatever is your starting point. So in simple terms turn a single engined aircraft into a twin engined one or maybe a tri-motor into a bi-motor ?
3. Models, drawings, artwork and stories are all eligible.
4. Models already started are allowed as long as major building work has not started before the GB begins. Check with the Moderators.
5. Finished models and profiles to be posted (with picture and link to build thread) in the finished builds thread within the overall GB thread in this Board. Please do not post comments in the finished builds thread.
6. Have FUN.
8. Moderators are Rickshaw and PR19 Kit.
9. There is no rule 7, don't EVER ask about rule 7 (O.K. so sometimes it’s Rule 6 that doesn't get mentioned, but Rule 7 had a right moan about being overworked last time out so I gave in ).
-
Just a random thought:
I suppose Rule 2 would cover adding engine(s) to a subject that never had any, or removing all engines from a subject that had one (or more).
-
It does indeed, either of those scenarios is acceptable.
-
How about changing the type of engines? Prop to jet? Turbo prop to warp drive? Maybe as long as it includes changing the number of engines?
Assuming C-130s will be built forever a Federation model with warp drive engines popped into my head.
-
The mods will discuss that idea and get back to you.
-

I'd like to know this as well, I was thinking of going from twin turboprop to four jets.

In the 2017 1WGB Tophe posted this pic combining Mustangs and Dinahs.
(http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/P82-51C5_ae.jpg)
I have been planning since then to build the left hand one. Is it eligible for this GB?
I strongly believe it is a Mustang with two engines (in line with Tophe's goal of drawing every possible Mustang variation) even if about 2/3 of the plastic will be Dinah.

Yes, that's fine. :thumbsup:

And he's doing every IMpossible variation too! ;D
And yes, you're good to go with that idea Fred.
-
Oh yes!! This is perfect. I was already planning a quad engined super-stretch Caravelle so I'll do it here. ;D
-
There is actually a rule 6.
I feel a great disturbance in The Force.
-
Now I need a small scale C-130!
-
Does an additional engine or engines have to be an integral part of the structure? If not, then the addition of RATO bottles or a ZELL booster to just about anything could count as 'adding an engine'...

Cool. I'll order more filler...

Hmm, a long abandoned idea comes to mind.
:thumbsup:

Boosters like that almost certainly WOULDN'T count as an extra engine, but I'll consult with my fellow mod and report back.

Yea, but as I said I was getting complaints from various on-line groups and other "focus"groups that I was persecuting the poor thing, so......... :angel: :angel:

We've discussed this and decided that extra 'drop-off ' engines of any sort won't be allowed. Any extra engines must be an integral part of the airframe, but strut supported ones, as on the Ford Tri-motor etc. are allowable.

Okay thanks for that, and don't worry, I'm not going to be testing the limits of this in anything I build.
Just to play devil's advocate though, what about the RATO boosters on a B-47 Stratojet? They were only used for take-off assistance and expended all their solid fuel in the process (just like a strap-on RATO unit), BUT they were an integral part of the airframe and remained attached to it throughout the flight. By the same token, what about the braking rockets fitted to the Credible Sport C-130s (the one intended for the Iranian hostage rescue)? They were also an integral part of the airframe (well allegedly...) and were carried for the whole flight, but were only used to slow the aircraft down on landing... :wacko:
Can I also suggest a route out of this minefield?
"Any extra engines fitted must be a permanent part of the airframe, and must be for use DURING FLIGHT, i.e. after take-off and before landing. They don't have to be running all the time during flight."

Did you train as a lawyer ? ;D ;D
I'm more then happy to add that to the proposed rules if that's what the Moderators would like ?

Neither of those would count as they're not added to an airframe with less engines, they're already there in the RW, so unless they have even MORE engines they don't count.

What about a Saturn 5? Those engines fall off in normal flight! :wacko: :wacko:
Hmmmm..... Saturn 5 with space shuttle solid fuel boosters?

No to the first idea, it's NOT changing the number of engines, but maybe yes to the second.

No but my point is, what about whiff equivalents of the same things? A Tu-16 with B-47-style RATO 'farms'? French hostages rather than American ones in Tehran, leading to a C-160 Transall being modified with Credible Sport-style gear?
-
Yes, I think both of those would be acceptable. :thumbsup:
-
Hmmm - I think I've just been given the green light on a long-wanted project. :) I'll say only that the base kit will be a Whirlwind. :)
Oh, well - never mind. Having re-read the rules, my idea doesn't fit. :p
-
..... rather than American ones in Tehran, leading to a C-160 Transall being modified with Credible Chase-style gear?
I believe you mean “Credible Sport”.
-
This may help the distinction a bit... those actually would be more "motor" than "engine" anyway, yeah? Case closed. *Bangs Gavel* ;D ;) ;D

Yes, quite right. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Single or tri-motor Boeing 247
twin-engined Gee Bee 🤣
tri or quad-engined Skyvan/330/360
tri-motor Catalina
twin-engined Do 24
(wing swap between the two?)

Just concentrating on the Less aspect;
Single engine Gosling.
Three engine FW Condor light.
Twin engine Lanc done. ;) (https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=43704.msg776327#msg776327)
U2 zero emission passive recconaisance glider.
Assymetric single engine Bf110.
Single boom, single engined fighter based on P38 parts.
Single engine Do 335 (front or rear - your choice).
Any car converted to horse drawn.
Mk IV tank converted to "prisoners in a treadmill" power.
Trireme Battleship (HMS Hood with three banks of oars for example).
Sloop rigged MTB.
Unpowered Boomer towed into action by a school of trained tuna...
-
Any car converted to horse drawn.
Mk IV tank converted to "prisoners in a treadmill" power.
Trireme Battleship (HMS Hood with three banks of oars for example).
Sloop rigged MTB.
These all seem to be "alternate engines" proposals. However, a standard single-engined car could have 2 horses, the Mk.IV would need at least 2 treadmills to replace its single engine, as Hood had 4 shafts & 4 geared steam turbines that could work (3 "engines" instead of 4), the MTB works if there aren't 3 masts.

The single-engined asymmetric Bf-110 has been built by me in 2013 at https://www.whatifmodellers.com//index.php/topic,36846.0.html
Several single-boom single-engined P-38 piloted planes are on my site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/#Sit like the one below center:

My thinking was that horses, people and sails are not engines and so all of those examples were zero engine vehicles powered by renewable resources.
But if one accepts your thinking (which I don't) then shirley one horse = one horse power so, as long as a car that had a 300 hp engine had more or less than 300 horses attached to it then it is acceptable.
If we accept your one engine = one horse argument then in the case of the Mk IV can we say one engine = one prisoner? In which case a single treadmill with more two or more prisoners/deserters/volunteers walking would suffice.
What is your proposed Tuna to Reactor ratio?

Wouldn't that be an STB?

Is it allowed by the jury, board and committee to cast the first (resin) parts before july 1st?

We think that's OK, on the grounds that you could have gone out and bought a resin part for the job. It's your fault that no-one supplying it. ;D
-
Ah, Ok .. thank you for your kind understanding. :thumbsup:
Will put some effort in making my life easier and use readily available resin parts in stead. :wacko:
But, but, but.....the part I'm planning to use (resin casted) are much uglier than the ones readily available....

Somehow I always manage to be out of jetengines faces and exhausts, so made a master of some so i can copy them over and over again. :thumbsup: <_<
The big lump of engine is from an Aero A-100 and I need some of them for my project in the More or Less engines GB. I'll me more than it used to be...

Not in the whiffness, no. But it is an important factor nevertheless.
-
Still some questions to understand the rules:
1) Is it allowed by the jury, board and committee to use an old build model which will be taken apart and reassembled totally different then before to meet the GB requirements?
2) Is it allowed to build an aircraft which is entirely new from parts of existing models? I mean; rules of the GB could be understood that only a conversion of an existing model is eligible.
An new and entirely different aircraft (kitbash whif build from parts of two or three different models) was just not known before and could have had any engine arrangement as it was not existing. Therefor it might get unclear what the engine arrangement was and how it got whiffed by re arranging the engines, Risk is to get disqualified for the GB.
David aka 63cpe
-
Hm, could you make that MORE complicated please, it won't be much of a mental trial for us as it is.............. ;D ;)
The mods will mod and get back to you in that...............eventually. :o
-
Sorry for causing headaches. I guess i'll proceed with it anyway. And see if it eligeable or not.
Thanks,
David Ajax 63cpe
-
We've done our moderating thing and decided you're OK to go with this so long as :-
a) You don't start re-assembling the bits until July 1st and
b) No one kit can constitute more than 25% of the resulting build.
-
:thumbsup: okidoki!
Thanks you for doing you moderator thing! ;D

I can't remember if this was discussed, but on the topic of re-engining, would converting something from Alison T56 engines to RR AE2100 (that's not a C-130) apply? It's a whatif, I promise.
-
Converting is fine, you just have to change the overall number of engines. If the original aircraft has four engines, in order to qualify for the GB, it will now need to have 3 or 5 (or 1, 2, 7, 54, etc, just not 4 like the original.) :thumbsup:
It's not the type of engines, it's the number that counts. ;D (pun intended)

Well at least SOMEone has figured out what it's all about! :thumbsup:
And even zero engines would be fine, so long as the original design had one or more.

A most succinct and appropriate definition!! I'm rather hoping that someone will take up your suggestion of 54 engines, I'm assuming VTOL with lots of lift cells.................... but it might be something else entirely.
-
The minds boggles at either......... 54... or ZERO. I find that fascinating; I'd like to see someone totally remove the engines from something....
-
Dornier Do X with 54 Genet Major 1A (Civet I) @ 145hp each. ;D
Or perhaps 66 Pobjoy Niagara. :wacko:
The grilled version of course.

Now that is cool!
It would be pretty neat to model. :mellow:
Ground crews probably drew nipples and stuff on that one.... ;D

Chase and Fairchild did it the other way round, by starting with a glider, the XG-20 and adding engines to eventually make it the C-123 Provider.
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/2079/0pCtT6.jpg)
En route they added MORE engines, jets this time, and made the XC-123!
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img921/5148/kmdATG.jpg)
Of course none of them are any good for this GB as they've already been done in the RW.
-
Yes, one could add engines to an Horsa. I think it HAD been done to the Hamilcar.
BTW, in the USA, Piper Cubs and other lightplanes had been deengined as primary trainers in WW2.
-
I'll be!! I had no idea the Provider was a Glider. lol I've looked at other gliders before and thought, "why not slap some engines on that one... it would be natural... " so I guess it stands to reason actual engineers did the same thing. I just never made the connection, that's a new one on me.
The c-123 in 1/72 happens to be THE last aircraft I need to find to make a complete collection for my USAF Thunderbirds "project." I wish they weren't so expensive.

That's a diorama concept, right there! XC-123A towing a XG-20 as a modern C-47/Horsa equivalent. :thumbsup:
-
XCG-20 #1 became the XC-123 with two R-2800 which led to the production C-123B.
XCG-20 #2 became the XC-123A with the four J47 engines.

Right. I'm plucking up the courage to ask - when will be OK to ask That Question? You know, the one we all want to ask around now but are a bit scared to do so.

It's a bit early yet, maybe in a couple of weeks.

Sooo.....
Is a bijou extensionette possible? Just a tiny one.
One in keeping with previous GBs of course.
Say a week? Maybe two?
We all love you Mods, by the way.

You say that but how do we know it?
You can leave your demonstration of your love in unmarked, small denomination bills in a plain brown paper bag on the front door step, OK?
Then we might consider your request... :thumbsup:

Said contact prints include images of the Mods helping the aged, the infirm, the poor, the needy, the homeless, smiling at children and handing out fluffy kittens.

Hahaha!! It's a movie quote. I guess it's more known here in the states, I didn't consider that. From "My Cousin Vinny."

Such a good movie. :lol:
Seen it, but not recently. I'll have to rewatch it.

The moderators have met in plenary session (even though we're 12000 miles apart, the travel expenses claim is already filed...) and have decided, MUCH against our better judgment, that we'll grant a two week extension to this Group Build.
That means the GB will now end at 2359 hrs local time (wherever you happen to be) on October 14th 2019.
This will no doubt trigger a rush on westward bound airline flights as the REALLY slow builders (which includes me....) try and maximise the amount of available build time. ;)
[Date fixed now]

OKaaaay.....so the engines GB is now the time travel GB :o?
We’ll assume you mean 14 October. And thanks, Mods.

I was going to say something but, as I had a similar Alzheimer's moment some weeks ago with the extension end date of a GB I was (am) moderating, thought better of it.

As I'm trying to get this BLOODY Win 10 machine running properly at the same time as arranging extensions and things, you're lucky that's the ONLY problem that's occurred! :banghead:
