Jeeze, If I didn't know better, I'd think you'd killfiled me...and then
made use of all that Spiral info I found on the Russian website.

time? :-)

As with the CEV, it's a masterpiece of Bondo. For some reason, Bondo has
changed the color of their curative from red to blue. Perhaps Bondo is
owned by Ta-Ray-Za.



P.S. Yes, some people are killfiled. But astonishingly enough, some of
us can find things on our own, thanks.

I don't know what it's made out of, but he's got a severe fit problem
between the wing front end and the fuselage:

There's another model out there of the MiG 105/Spiral spaceplane in 1/72
scale (I assume Scott is doing his in 1/144th)
http://www.anigrand.com/AA2004mig-105.html
http://www.internetmodeler.com/2005/...on/MiG_105.php
Anigrad Craftworks has quite a few oddball aircraft models, including
other lifting bodies
http://www.anigrand.com/AA2014hl-10.html
http://www.anigrand.com/AA2015m2-f2.html
The X-34
http://www.anigrand.com/AA2012x-34.html
And this thing, which had to have been in APR at some time:
http://www.anigrand.com/AA2037xv-2.html
Is it just me, or is that single rotor blade going to have to rotate
like a bat out of hell to lift something that heavy into the air?
Still, more jet fighters need wheel pants...
This always looked like a fun set also:
http://www.spacetoys.com/cart.php?se...6239166&item=4
Meanwhile, Alex Panchenko now has a model of a really wild looking new
MiG fighter on his site that looks a lot like some of those A-11
inspired fighters that Lockheed tried to interest the Air Force and Navy
in:

Timing was coincidental though, wasn't it?
I'm sure you can also find the pictures of the model of the the Spiral
50/50 made by the Molniya company itself ... the model that doesn't
agree with what you are presently building in a lot of details.
Hee-hee.
It's very cold in space, isn't it?

....Are there examples of single rotors that *work*?

....Unknown. I've heard complaints about the color change from other
sources, and the common point of bitching seems to be "dammit! Now I
have to buy a different primer!"

....If the two of you would just killfile Rand - he's proven himself to
be either CT in drag, or just channelling the ******* troll - then you
wouldn't have anything to fight about.

Doesn;t bother me too much. Just came a bit of a surprise, as it has
also included Bondo-equivalents from *other* companies. One wonders if
the EPA was involved or something.

If the two of you would just killfile Rand


Rand is far less annoying than Pat, and Rand at least has the advantage
of being neither a socialist useful idiot nor completely uninformed
about aerospace engineering.

you wouldn't have anything to fight about.


Doubtful. I have sufficient draws on my time without Pat's
self-important gibberish. He used to be witty, but that seems to have
come to an end.

He really doesn't like the fact that I said the Antipodal Bomber
wouldn't work as designed, or that the Dyna-Soar didn't make as much
sense as an ICBM in the bombing role.
As for the socialist part- well, let's let the proletarian masses decide
who the bourgeois counterrevolutionary exploiter around here is, shall
we? I doubt if Scott's ideal world would be much fun; in my world we get
show trials for odd crimes like "looking lustily at a fire hydrant with
thoughts of Trotskyite Wrecker Hooliganism in your mind" followed by
strange punishments such as "Having to urinate on a fire hydrant with
your leg lifted like a capitalist dog, followed by twelve selected
members of the Red Guard swatting you on your buttocks with rolled-up
copies of Pravda, and being forced at peashooter point to actually read
Das Kapital."

Doubtful. I have sufficient draws on my time without Pat's
self-important gibberish. He used to be witty, but that seems to have
come to an end.



He liked my postings...especially the early funny ones. But now he lives
in a world that reeks of Bondo and cat litter...and of course the
exploitation of the striving masses in the service of the
Military-Industrial-Cottage Model Kit Manufacturing Complex. :-)
