Yep Me too, 163 wise.
Bill, I am not sure what a "whinger" is, because I am not familiar with "Aussie" slang, but I am sure that if you were one, you would be the best one there ever was!
I only wish my wife was that supporting of me; "living the dream!"
You are my hero, buddy!

Paul,

'Whinge', 'whinged', 'whingeing', 'whinger'…………….to complain, whine.

Bill whinge……………………….never, he's just chatty…………………..ain't ya Bill.

[meatloaf109]

Well, I only have to wait another 19 and 1/2 years? F**k that! I want to live the dream now!

 

[N4521U]

Now Paul......
that sounds a little like whinging to me.

When I was 50, I was out of work, struggling to find a job in the SF bay area. I had taken out a fed loan for $10,000.00 to go to a trade school.
I was literally laughed at during interviews, by snot nosed 20 year olds who thought I was too old to breath the air they needed. And the older guys who wanted cheap 19 year old kids for the work. Weather they could do it or not, counted for nothing.

I digress

 

[meatloaf109]

Having that exact problem now...


Oh, it's Debra Whinger!

 

[Vaughan]

Ian what bill means by "whinger" is a person who complains or protests, especially in an annoying or persistent manner.(that's a dictionary definition) sorry a bit late on this one didn't read all the other posts.

Um ok guys, does Ho-229 Qualify? Theres a lonley one in the hobby shop that no ones purchased for the last 4 years, I've always been eyeing it for a specific build hehe

She was Test Flown at Friedrichroda(spelling correct? :S ) a couple times before the crash

 

[Lucky13]

Come on Igor, give her a nice and loving home, you know you want to!

 

[meatloaf109]

Seems to qualify.

Looks like you have hit the nail on the head here Igor, according to Wilkipedia this flying wing first flew in March 1944, though I believe it may have only been gliding and crashed on landing. The second prototype took to the air in December same year under it's own power and this again was damaged on landing. Sadly the third flight in February 1945 ended in disaster when one of the engines caught fire and the wing eventually crashing.

Perfect Vic I picked her up today since she needs a good home, now less buying and more building

the 3rd flight (I think it was while she was on her last flight) was flown against a Me-262 and it outperformed the 262. Just after the mock dog fight the fighter crashed :S

Ooh my, my He-162 has been staring at me in the face all this time I have to start the "Russian Volksjager" too hehe so there 2 kits very nice

 

[Crimea_River]

The wing is in!

 

[Wayne Little]

Sounds good to me...

I wanted to enter but won't be - too many other things to take care of.

 

[Airframes]

Same here, but if I do enter, I might throw in a Bf108 of Erprobungsgruppe 210 .... just found out about it in John Vasco's book.

 

[A4K]

Sounds good Terry. I'd have entered the Nakajima C6N1.
