....and you TC.....

LM check previous posts by skytrain...........:ok::ok:

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 14:00

Good afternoon all!!

That sounds like a good plan LM!

However, my b:mad:g connection is next to useless at the moment and keeps dropping every minute or so making searching very frustrating. Will be shifting house again this evening so will be better then!

Lightning Mate 16th Jan 2011 14:18

You must be so pissed off mate!

skytrain has gone.:uhoh::uhoh:

RegDep 16th Jan 2011 14:28

Was afraid of that :sad:.

Not intended :\:(:(:\:sad:

Green light off. Not a good sign.

:confused:

Lightning Mate 16th Jan 2011 14:35

Check out:
"Flight Testing" - "Full Throttle height".

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 14:39

You can say that again mate! It's been like it for a while but has got significantly worse since the high winds, just let them insist that it isn't a line problem!!

There can't be that many Americam biplane/triplane "sisters", so I'll take a quick punt at the Boeing Engineering Division GA-2 ? Dunno if we've had the GA-1/GAX Tripe and the piccie in Aerofiles isn't Reg's view, but the tails the same shape and there's a thingy on top of the engine cowl.

Third attempt at posting this! I copy my post to the clipboard 'cos if the con drops it's gone when I get back :ugh:


You must be so pissed off mate!
Don't worry Reg, I'm sure LM was referring to my intermittant broadband connection, not your comments!

RegDep 16th Jan 2011 14:44

TC, yes, we have had Boeing GA-1 in August 2010. LM posted it and Skytrain busted it in two minutes. This is the biplane Boeing GA-2. Piccie is not from Aerofiles :cool:

All yours! :ok:

Lightning Mate 16th Jan 2011 14:50

....:D.....

I think I know what's coming so, :zzz:

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 14:54

Thanks Reg,

Oh bugger!! Well the wind has dropped a bit and the line seems a bit more stable, so I'll try and get another one airborne. Sorry LM, It'll have to be one of yours again!

Gorrit, got a con to PB!!

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 17:37

While I was at it, I uploaded one for WC, so if you can't play here :ok: !!

Edited to say WC = What Cockpit

Lightning Mate 16th Jan 2011 17:39

........wossat mate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

wheressit....??????

oosa WC?

RegDep 16th Jan 2011 17:51

TC I wish my memory were better and I'd remember what I was looking for when every other aircraft that I found looked exactly like your challenge :(.

Like a pregnant goldfish (are there any, really? :8)

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 18:07

LM, seen my edit above?

Reg, I thought that it looked too similar to Mel's Welch challenge that you got the other day, which is why I put the Stal up out of order! You'd better go and check out all the ones you rejected to find that Welch :)

I found that one with the 2-cyl engine :(

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 19:01

OK, so you maybe don't want to go back to check like I said and I agree that they do all look similar!


I found that one with the 2-cyl engine http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/sowee.gif
Well, this one hasn't got a pesky little flat twin: it's much bigger than that, but speaking with my engineer's hat on, it's very very much bigger than its name implies!

RegDep 16th Jan 2011 19:14

Like a mail plane with 6 to 8 passenger seats?

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 19:22

Sorry Reg, I was talking about the engine!

It's a two-seater (side-by-side)

RegDep 16th Jan 2011 19:27

Engine. Sure. Had that in mind. Just saying that my experience with the Welsh was on hunting for a 2-cylinder thing. And Aerofiles.

Need to call it a day now. Nite. Seeyall tomorrow.

SincoTC 16th Jan 2011 20:22

Sorry Reg, I have been offline for half an hour.

You won't find this one by the engine, or on Aerofiles, in fact the only use of finding the engine is that it's from the same country as the Challenge aircraft, which should help a lot!
