Pellsons Perceivings

Or playing at being a Bucc'...

Good to know your still with us, old son, & long may it be so!   

Heading into proper Winter, down here (Well, by our standards - slightly less snow, blizzards & ice than might be expected in Scandinavia, I'd assume).

You cannot view this attachment.

AI slop it may be but it does open up some ideas;

1. That superfluous fat canard could be turned into either;
     a. a proper canard, or
     b. an extension of the leading-edge of the top of the engine intake

2. Do it fully wheels-up on a 1cm clear perspex rod (or RE magnets, if you're really good with them) above one of those really blurred runway images that tc2324 used so well

3. Combine the above.

4. Do any of the above as some form of CGI.


Unfortunately a Lansen is not on my radar to purchase & I'm not a pixel-pounder, so, if anyone else wants to run with those ideas, feel free!

The "superfluous fat canard" is actually a bulge introduced on the photo recon S32C Lansen to facilitate space enough for the big cameras. 
And, interestingly, the gear was as a rule retracted about at that altitude to minimise drag and thereby compensate for the somewhat asthmatic engine in this the first Lansen generation. It helped to minimise the distance to 100 ft altitude, and , as most of you might know, most of Sweden is forested, so you really want to get up ASAP.

Lovely weather today, and focus is to try to persuade the lawnmower robot to care for the other half of the garden as well. That will require a boundary cable without interruption, something that at times is harder to achieve than it really should be..

I was going with the "AI slop" theme.

So, as the Lansen isn't an aircraft I'm familiar with, apart from the general appearance, I assumed (yes, we all know ... donkey - u - me) that the "fat canard" was some kind of an AI artifact.

The ideas still work, though, but one might want to plonk in a bigger donk.

I like it!  and  I can understand why one might wish to get above the tree line as rapidly as possible, even small trees can seriously inconvenience flying machines.

Best of luck with the lawnmower, I spent a whole weekend a couple of years ago trying to fit a boundary cable round a friend's lawn.............we struggled too!

No offence taken. 

Home at last, after almost a full week on the road. A good week, but I'm tired nevertheless. Well, now it's weekend. That means so,e rest, and then we'll see.

Having managed to knock over my sortiment of 1/72 aircraft ordnance, I now have a stash of small, empty plastic drawers and about a litre of said ordnance on a tray. Bugger. 

I'll have to sort it back some day. But not today.

Absolute bugger!
