G'evening Graeme,

I hope you've had a good day and that your delivery arrived OK!

Did your challenge ever fly or is it an impression of a concept?

I've had a good look at 3LS aircraft, and apart from the Avanti and a couple of non-starters, the only description that matches fairly well was the proposed SharkBite Reno racer, but the foreplane was too near the tip of the nose, no images of any changes, but it later seems to have become a four place, twin engine, T-tailer!

In view of the fact that you dislike them, could it be a UAV?

Good Morning Sinco, hope the Tungsten is holding together for you at work!

Only two were built and one was severely damaged. Mentioned on Aerofiles but not illustrated, however it is illustrated on this site...

Morning David. Sorry mate, no.

I was watching a documentary on the Discovery Channel today and it's amazing how much progress has been made in the field of aerospace...

Progress Aero Discovery

Funny, it looks like it had retractable nose wheel and fixed main gear.

I think from some mail I got, or from a JB thread. There are many sites full of these

My favourite:

Ho Hum


OK, sorry for the delay, gents. I takes some time for me to come up with a new one, so I declare Open House. Anyone want to give Graeme something to dream about while in bed?

Edit 2: OH withdrawn.

How do you know? How can you tell? You put it the "Silhouette Maker Machine" and it says in a deep voice "15 minutes David".
