Lousy instructions on my part I'm sorry I didn't include good instructions on the last half of the model. I still have the revisions to send to most of you guys, and a set of diagrams on the landing gear will be included with the revisions. I know it's my fault for not showing it well in...

Just thought I'd add my two cents. Wing warping is alive today. NASA has modified a F/A-18 with warping wings. It's been awhile since I read the article but I beleive the aircraft has significantly improved roll rate (a regular F-18 already has more roll than a human pilot can tolerate) and...

It's entirely possible I suffered from a bout of dyslexia while numbering some of the parts. There is a strong possibility that I also goofed on the turbine exhausts as well so just beware and try not to cuss me too badly.

Part 11 is the aftmost portion of the intake. Piece 12 is the fairing around the exhaust nozzle and 13 and 14 is the exhaust nozzle. Hopefully the attached diagrams will help. Sorry for the poor quality but I think they will be adequate to answer your questions.

I don't really know what to tell you Darwin as my test build didn't show that problem and since silverw didn't mention it I don't think he encountered it either. Hopefully some of the other guys might be able to add some more input as to weather or not it really is a design flaw. I've put a...

To be honest Silverw I think you are taking a slightly flawed design and doing an excellent job. 6b gave me grief in the two test builds that I did and even though I trimmed off the bottom a little for you guys I might not have done enough.

Allowing the doors to open? I think that's a bit more ambitious than I ever imagined. I'm not familiar with ship building or it's terminology so I'm afraid I don't know what a crutch is. A detailed explanation would be appreciated. My own thoughts on the subject of the cockpit would be to...

I'm impressed.

I have to admit that I have a strong aversion to seems and that I try to reduce the number of them as much as possible even if not entirely practical. Maybe this will help those of you that haven't got there yet. Don't worry about the middle seem at first. Just connect the ones going down...

I have to be honest and say that I didn't build every part of the model before I provided it to you folks to build(specifically the landing gear and rotors). Just today I tried building the landing gear and I have to admit that while I think it's probably possible to assemble it, it's harder...

I'd have to look at the parts sheets which I don't have in front of me right now to know for sure but the wing parts you mentioned is either piece 22 or 23(step 7). I haven't designed any of the weapons for it yet. I have to put a little more time in on my flight school stuff so I'll leave...

error in instructions Silverw has brought to my attention an error in the instructions. In step 4 of the instructions it refers to piece 6b. That is a mistake on my part and really refers to part 6a(there is no 6b). Sorry for the confusion.

As ususual you guys have have been very helpful and I appreciate it. Special thanks go to Silverw, Charliec, and GW. Silverw managed to convert my ai file to a good looking pdf so any of you beta builders who haven't got the model yet let me know and it will be on the way shortly(but since I...

For Allhalloweseve I probably typed your email wrong. I'll try resending it. I enlisted charliec's help and he did get the files, so I know some of them went out. For Yaniv, Charliec is working on trying to make the file into a pdf, I lack the knowledge to do it so far. If there is...

Here is a note to all I sent the model to. I don't think I gave enough instruction on the main rotor. The piece that goes between the blades that connects directly to the rotor shaft needs to be laminated on several thicknesses of posterboard ( 3 thicknesses of what I used) in order to be...

Okay guys I just sent (or at least tried to send) the files to all you who volunteered for the project. If you see this post could you please check and see if the files actually came through? Also Darwin I lost your email. Sorry! I've sent a pm requesting it but maybe you'll see this sooner...

Creating instructions didn't take near as long as I thought it would. My only problem now is understanding pdf's. I managed to convert the corel draw file to pdf all right but what was 4 pages of parts now fit into one corner of 1 page. Do I need to save each individual page as a pdf? How do...

I guess with our dear admin volunteering his expertise we now have all the beta builder postions filled. I'll try and get the files to you all soon but it might have to wait till sunday or later as I'm going out of town tommorrow and saturday.

Well GW I seem to remember you saying that you got that new position and that you thought you might not be so busy. I have noticed that you haven't been posting as much. Well congrats anyway hopefully on getting paid more for your time. Sure Allhalloweseve you probably deserve the honor of...

Ok folks airwolf is pretty much complete. I have one volunteer to beta build it already and I would like 2-3 more. I would ask those that volunteer to please commit to build it quick and report what works and what doesn't so it can be finished as soon as possible.
