Thanks to a recent windoze update my pc keeps forgetting my sign-in's and passwords!
It's a good job I have a paper back-up - - when I can find it!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Windoze and maybe Google? i have had the same problem. Even worse trying to get my new moby phone to act the way I want as a lot of the Passwords did not transfer or if they did the pesky thing wants confirmation. I am not an up to date diary to remember dozens n' dozens of passwords either.

Have a nice Day, unless I don't like you.

If I recall - it was BB asking about digital servos, a month or so ago.

The Andes virus may not start a worldwide panic except in the cruise ship busineses that start from South America!

Replica Spitfire crash - looking at the photo, the fin looks too small, and reading the text - it reads - reports showed the aircraft "pitched up sharply and then rolled rapidly to the left" towards the edge of the runway. - The left wingtip struck the the ground - -
Sounds just like a torque roll or tip-stall!

With the US's recent record of fighter jet crashes its fortunate they have good ejection seat designers.

Been looking at an interesting model on the OuterZone site - OZ16759 Wasp 1935.
outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=16759
Does the curved central dihedral section do anything for the aerodynamics or is it just a good way to do it.
Could a Vee-tail be done in a similar fashion? A curved V-shape instead of a straight one, maybe a straight section initialy to accomodate the elevons then finishing in a curve?
