Looking good. Did you get any weights up front? IIRC this ones pretty tail heavy and the model comes with a little strut to keep it nose down.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Looking excellent Bill! Great work!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Oh yes. Plenty of weight. I started with the nose by filling it up with crushed lead fishing weights. Those kind that look like little snap on balls. Then I used lead aquarium plant weights. These weights come in strips and are used to hold plants down on the bottom of the fish tank. I put these weights just behind the gunners chair and down just above the gun bay. As long as the weight is in front of the main landing gear, the nose will stay down. In my last plane, I used pennys behind the gunners chair. It was one way I could see to increase the value of my plane.

Nice. I was too lazy to go back and look.

Things have been a little slow lately. I have an interview today for equipment production supervisor for an international medical device manufacturer. Wish me luck. I'll get back to work this weekend.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Good luck Bill!

 

[Wayne Little]

fingers crossed for you Bill....

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Lots of luck Bill, fingers crossed for you, it will be an interesting job. I was a production scheduler for Avon Cosmetics many years back a demanding and rewarding job.

Thanks guys, the first interview went very well. I sat before an assorted panel of managers, engineers, and directors in what would best be described as a stump the chump session. Rapid fire questions designed to see how I would react in different scenarios. This chump remains unstumpable... Now I await the interview with a senior director.

 

[Crimea_River]

Well done!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nicely done Champ, Good luck on the next hurdle.

 

[Airframes]

Sounding good Bill - hope the next round goes as well.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Good luck!
