Why mate?

We have had all sorts of things on the thread, including projects which never flew, hypothetical designs, unmanned balloons, UAVs etc.

I draw the line at model aircraft.

I would have no problem with that. And I think we have gnawed the bones of UAVs and missiles quite bare, anyways. Either way is fine with me.

Projects that were were meant or designed to carry a pilot would be legal game under the proposed rule. But as I said, either way is fine.

Not an unmanned Yakovlev.

I am happy to go along with Martins' suggestion.

However, before we change the rules I feel we should solicit the views of the other regular players first.

Do you agree?

Of course, I agree.

Would you call yours a ducted fan? Funny, but I flipped it upside down, and it looks more plausible that way. Go figure…..

It is a ducted fan, and it is the right way up.

Tried. Got Lockheed MQM-105 Aquila - a flipped picture of a flop.

I'm getting too soft in my old age.

The photo is not flipped.

Back to you.

Well. Not too soft and not too old…...

Agree that you picture is cropped from a launch situation to the left, but most of the similar pictures in the web are heading right.

Moment…...

In the meantime Martin, I think you can expect at least RD and myself to comply with your suggestion.
