Reg, I well know the feeling mate!

Is that the best-iola you could manage? Well' it's good enough 'coz it's dead right! The Benes-Mraz Be 60 Bestiola. Walter Mikron engine.

A Micron being one millionth af a metre, pretty small for an engine don't you think, but I expect they were referring to accuracy of its manufacture!

Well done! RegDep has control

I try to stick to International Standards now mate, ever since the well known English unit of smallness, the "Gnats Cock" was confused by occasional confusion with the well endowed American Swamp Gnat!!

Thanks TC. Addiction is something not too easy to run away from, eh?

Here's my next, but I have to leave the monitoring 'till tomorrow, if you gentlemen don't mind.



Yes, I know. Biplane .

Which one is more infinitesimal (is that a double-negative, too?)?

Another Biplane; thanks for the clarification, 'coz I suppose it could just have been a triplane!

Another trawl through Aerofiles candidate?

Reg didn't pick this up, and nor did I.

This is what the gear should look like.

Nite mate.
