That's pretty amazing.... Check this out though :- Barrington Hares' Rolls Royce Eagle

Looks like your dad was stationed at RAF Fowlmere. I go shooting in Lincolnshire sometimes and there are a lot of disused bases there. If it had been one of those I could have taken some photos for you, if anything remained. Sadly Fowlmere is in East Anglia and nothing worth mentioning of the...

Whereabouts, do you know ?

Remember that my efforts to make a 3D CAD model of the Porsche 908-2 ended up with me joining a bunch of guys who are making a classic racing simulation for the PC ? It's an addon for an existing commercial product, but will be distributed free - so this isn't an advert ;) If anyone is...

That's gorgeous.... It's also a bloody good website, the photos are excellent.

That would be the same Bill Of Rights that the politicians ignored when they banned handguns, and trample over every time they deny us a right to self defence. In those cases they say it's a legal anachronism which is no longer valid. However now it might save their asses then it seems to...

I can only think of three aircooled sixes - the Honda CBX1000 and the Benelli 750 and 900's The Honda is the best candidate I suppose as it's DOHC

Well it ain't my fault :) I didn't vote for this lot.....

The sad thing is most of them have gotten away with it. Those four are just a token sacrifice to appease public opinion. If I were to describe my hatred, contempt and loathing for most British politicians I would have to use some very unsuitable language.

Is GPS capable of adding a layer of safety to the pitot static method of measuring airspeed ? As a back up mode to drive the indicator in an emergency or as a 'reality check' on the primary system ?

That is so funny :D

Does that help Jurgen ?

Wow ! all you need now are some 8 cylinder engines :)

Is the chassis a generic tube frame or a replica Martin ? I won't ask for dimensions :) When you say the tubing will be laser cut does that mean it's mitred as well ? That would save a huge amount of time and work...

The subjects I liked to draw and paint were military aircraft and motorcycles, my professional work was for a company who produced Dungeons and Dragons style games, something I'm not at all interested in - I just did it for the money. I don't have anything to show :( my hobby artwork was mostly...

I am dreaming the same dream ;) If you need any help to turn a blueprint into a 3D CAD model then I would enjoy helping you

The guys with the drawings won't share. They paid a lot of money for those blueprints. I will eventually be releasing into the public domain CAD files for :- 1) Porsche 908-2 body 2) Porsche 917 chassis 3) Porsche 917 suspension The 908-2 body is finished and ready to go ( but I'm not...

I really, really like your latest. Great pop art theme. I was a professional artist for a couple of years in my 20's, but working on stuff that I wasn't interested in eventually just crushed any interest I had in drawing and painting. I haven't picked up a pencil for 18 years, not seriously...

Don't forget to post some pictures when you get started :)
