Thanks Mechta, good luck with the winch!

I'm hoping I've got LM in tow now to hoist one of mine up!

I'll give it a while and see if he's about (his light is on but I read earlier that he was having some problems).

edited to say: He is! Yippee, anyone mate, surprise me

I'm being silly - I think only 031 is left - standby.

Edit - 032 is available as well.

The computer problems were at home, not here.

By the way Mechta, time to Goggle viscous fluid dynamics and the relationship between viscosity and density.

Try starting with Reynolds Number.

Doesn't the world just love a smartass......

I'll get me 'at as well as me coat now.....

PM for TC.

Hi one11,

Sorry, it's not the Perman Parasol, that had a flatter "chin" profile and different wing-struts, but you're very close and I believe this one did have a connection to it!

Thats it. Over 700 built apparently - well at least the challenge lasted longer than 500 seconds.

Well done Arado - you have control.
