1Hey Pete, What are the economics of owning & flying the L-39? I gave slightly serious consideration to one of the Shorts Tucanos floating around, but the numbers looked rough. Given that the slow old T-34 prices are through the roof the Albatros may be an alternative idea although I don't have any turbojet time worth mentioning. How do you keep cool in an airplane without the fan on the front anyway? Oh yeah, how is it for back country flying, you know like skipping onto a sandbar in a river and stuff like that? BN523

Opinion on Vallejo Model Air paints
davral64 replied to ericg's topic in Q&A: Tips, Techniques, and Photography
I am sad to say that none of the acrlyics, Vallejo, MMP, Ammo, Ak are going to be usable without a lot of trial and error. MMP is not too bad and might be closer to MRP than some of the others although it sprays pretty thick, but settles down well. Tamiya and Mr Paint are probably the also good. Another consideration with these is that you've got to use their thinners, additives etc. In the final analysis nothing but MRP gives the consistent spraying and versatility of MRP. It's a case of Vegimite vs Marmite mate. Don't come the raw prawn with me mate. The Sheila's are going to a -

Do we have any current or former fighter pilots here?
davral64 replied to ringleheim's topic in Aviation Discussion
The rotary wing - fixed wing rivalry goes back to when Igor developed the first powered, heavier than air, controlled airplane and Orville and Wilbur invented the helicopter... or do I have that backwards? Oh yeah, Orville invented popcorn. Anyhow, the vehicles have entirely different purposes not to mention that they fly differently. Helicopters beat the air into submission. Airplanes use hydraulics. Neither can fly at night though, because as everyone knows, there`s no lift at night. Another interesting difference is that fixed wing aircraft must keep up their airspeed lest they smit -

Wow de Havilland built beautiful acft and yours is looking wonderful! -
Looks really good! Maybe the RAAF ought to think about using that camo pattern? Of course after a carton of p!ss you wouldn't be able to find the airplane.

I wish someone would re release their kits! I wasn't familiar with this one it looks a bit like a Navion.
-
I'm with you 100%. Civilians just don't have the slightest idea how dangerous most military jobs are and just how much responsibility is heaped on an 18 year old`s shoulders. Thank you for your service? Oh you have no idea my friend!
-
As first glance I thought the title was `Just got back from rehab`. Congratulations either way! She's a beautiful acft!

Where's OSHA when you need them?

It looks like engine failure. The pull was to trade some airspeed for options. As the airspeed bled below the stall it spun. They stayed with it to aim it away from people and structures. They jettisoned the acft when they knew it would not hurt anyone else. It is the embodiment of "That others may live". No seat modern or otherwise could have magiced them to safety given the parameters. Fantastic people to be sure!
