I live in the UK where pitched roofs are the norm, so I could only really build HMS Ark Royal, USS Yorktown or Japanese carriers. SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. >On Jun 5, 7:44=A0am, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <MlS1k.140991$TT4.102933@attbi_s22>, Rufus <n...@home.com> wrot= [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >rooftops are an entirely untapped display resource. think of all the >flight decks we could build. most are buit to be self supporting with maybe an ac unit. otherwise they are quite weak. those little 1 prop, 4 seat private planes have no problem going through one at 100mph. > On Jun 5, 7:44 am, some...@some.domain wrote: > > >>> ...at the club meeting last night.

And if you lived in the Midwest you could probably get your models to fly with little effort. Yeesh.

Anything take off today? I wonder how they could pay for the Avgas.

The SNJ was running up it's engines and I saw the B-17 taxi just before we left. Missed the Collings Foundation Bay Area visit this year. In Japan for most of their visit. Planned on going today with Justin while Lynne is in Boston, but I wasn't feeling well, so stayed home and vegged. I guess they missed me :-) as the B-25 flew low over the house this afternoon.Oh, well. At least I got a little modeling in today.TomOn Jun 7, 7:45 pm, eyeball <eyeball2002...@aol.com> wrote:> On Jun 7, 9:16 pm, Mad-Modeller <checkrepl...@nextline.com> wrote:> > > > > > > eyeball wrote:> > > > On Jun 7, 9:45 am, some...@some.domain wrote:> > > > In article <r6q2k.197619$yE1.139142@attbi_s21>, Rufus <n...@home.com> wrote:> > > > >Mad-Modeller wrote:> > > > >> "cr...@earthlink.net" wrote:> > > > >>> On Jun 5, 7:44 am, some...@some.domain wrote:> > > > >>>> In article <MlS1k. 140991$TT4.102933@attbi_s22>, Rufus <n...@home.com>> > > > > wrote:> > > > >>>>> Mad-Modeller wrote:> > > > >>>>>> Rufus wrote:> > > > >>>>>>> ...at the club meeting last night.

The SNJ was running up it's engines and I saw the B-17 > taxijust before we left. I'm glad you got out of that heat. On a nice day the heat can roll back off the concrete and bake you from underneath. I've gotten burned on the undersides of my arms at some shows. Some of the best shows I ever went to took place on cool, drizzly days. Yeah, photography was lousy but I didn't faint either. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > eyeball typed: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. I've been burned (pardon the pun) at all three shows I managed to attend this year. We went to the open house at Andrews, and stood in line FOUR hours to get on the shuttle bus. We were in the front 1/4 of the line yet were literally on the LAST bus going out. I don't know how they managed it, but all we saw was the Blue Angels, and vendors packing up. A lot of people in that line were cussing the MPs...and I'm still peeling from that sunburn! At Mcguire they made us walk over a mile to our car in 90ish degree heat. After Reading, and all this record heat, I think I'm done for this year. > >> ...at the club meeting last night.
