Thanks Strega,

Unfortunately, it'll have to be another Open House, as I'm offline in a couple of hours 'til Monday.

Incedentally, and you're not to know of course, but lately we've been aiming to get the "Challenges" back to something approaching a silhouette. Of course this is not so easy as uploading a 3-view or part photo, but that is the aim. Take a look back at the posts for the last month to get the idea. I'm not complaining though, as you're keeping the game going

I think it's the Me 109TL, a "back-up" design to cover for possible problems with the 262

Thanks mate!

Another Open House please! I'm off soon, but I see a few more regular names online, so someone may jump in and save you the chore (unless you're quick). Good afternoon skytrain, welcome to the fray!! A lightening strike by chazchaz

Good afternoon Sinco...a busy morning shopping, back home for lunch now. Looks like you're off now until Monday, so have a good weekend. Ken

Yes it is. You have the control.

How do I check that you have not had it before?

Thanks Ken,

Yes, off soon, but it's been a bit chaotic here so I may get another late nighter before Monday.

BTW, chazchaz's challenge does look familiar, but the Tereshchyenko isn't on Mel's latest list (unless it was very recent and hasn't been added yet)

I now see it was very recent and so hasn't made it onto the list yet!

Have a good weekend yourself

chazchaz: check this out, but as you realize, although it's regularly updated, it isn't guaranteed!

Thanks chazchaz, as Sinco has explained, although there is a list that is updated regularly, you do need to check through posts subsequent to the last list publication date. Having said that, we've all made the same mistake ourselves !

I hope this one will live up to Sinco's introduction!



Apologies for the quality!

Maybe not Strega.

I've been studying the Schneider history, and they all had big engines and very, very coarse pich propellers.
