Ahhhh ha ..yeah it shows that me brain sometimes went straight to food instead of to winglets  :banghead:  ;D
Mate I'm liking foreplanes even tho it sounds like a part from a boat  :wacko:
Or call em TLFW's "The little front wings"
What ever the hell they end being called I'm still chuffed they were so easy to sort out  ;D

And it follows that the metal covering the foreplanes would be the foreskin...

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Just had to go out and purchase another couple of notebooks, and yes I still use pen and paper. What saves time is that I've developed a system whereby I can classify the type and severity of each offence with a simple Alpha Numeric code, I then keep a separate notebook which explains what these codes stand for/mean. Most of Fred's are simply classified as "Z1", "Z2" etc. All I need to do now is remember where I put the book explaining the coding system.

Sometimes when watching historical documentaries and you get historians de-coding some ancient language from fragments found on a pot or similar I do muse on some historian in 3,000 years time finding fragments of "The Book"  :angel:

What i want to see is the entire wall of books with a plaque  mounted to the top saying "Fred's wall" ..or maybe its even bigger than that its a gallery instead of just a wal ,,so it would say "Fred's Gallery"  ;D

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

What? It would have gone THROUGH the waste gate to get out, wouldn't it? Are they bolted on or clipped or.....?

Kit the actuator on these are electronic and sit bolted to the side of the turbo ..and yep the rods are clipped on and not very well either ..with continuous use these I think the clips weaken and with the vibration they fall off  ;D
Along with the rod ...if ya look at this setup you can see the whole thing ..it's a good idea just not a super good one .

PSR has begun on the wings and the fuselage and yep..i've already run out of a tube of Tamiya's basic gray putty ,,it was only a half tube but it covered quite alot of plastic ,,I've still got a full tube of the white Tamiya putty to play with but the next real putty work will be with epoxy  ;D

Those prop blades should cope with quite a bit of power.

You sure those props are big enough ?  ;)  ;D

That is some very ambitious kit-bashing. It looks like it will turn out well too.

They look half-way to being axial turbo-props.  ;)
