The full scale wing section that Simon put up for us is typical of supersonic sections where the maximum thickness is very far back, about 80% of chord, just about useless as a lifting section below Mach.

Do it now, you may never get another chance

:( :( I ordered the retracts for the A10 and other gear 250$ worth last November from HK
Apparently it came around crimbo time last year, the post office did not notify us, so they kept it a couple of weeks then sent it back to HK, :angry:
After waiting until they got it, i ordered it again from HK only they did not have stock, so i waited
eventually it came in so the order was put together and sent,
YOU KNOW WHATS COMING :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
Its in Cyprus somewhere nobody knows where it is, i have two tracking numbers for it that is not recognised :woohoo: HK said check with the post office they will have it
Sooo i drove the 20 miles there and NO !!!! numbers not recognised, well check it through my name and address i said, Ok :) NO NOTHING so home i came, calling at my paint shop to get some primer
IT AINT THER NO MORE :ohmy: :sick: they have gone bust ( never a crying icon when needed )
So what with my ill health i recon its time to call it a day, sell everything for what i can get,
And put the proceeds towards my funeral :( :S :evil: :sick:

About time you got on with this BB. You might just finish it before I finish the Gannet!! :P

I'm currently unsupervised. I know it freaks me out as well, but the possibilities are endless!!
