Hi everyone,
Unfortunately our ISP who you may remember, recently moved our site to a new server, made a mistake of some sort causing our forum database to be reset back to Nov 23. I've spent the past two days working with them to try to recover the lost messages but they seem to be unrecoverable.
My apologies for this. I will start to take nightly backups of the database for the next while until things stabilize, just in case.
Ben
No problem! We'll just have to chat more to make up for it.
Thanks for your continued efforts to keep our happy environment functioning and active. ;D
Robert
woo hoo... thanks Ben
Yay! I was getting desperate. Last night I actually had to talk with my family. The horror...
I'm going to have to do nothing Thursday and Friday at work to level the productivity for the week.
So let's see a bunch of build threads based on all the model building productivity that was accomplished over the past couple of days. Ben said we had no excuse with the forum being down.
Robert
Does searching the internet for new and interesting models count as building? If so, I did a lot of building.
Also I read a really good build thread on RCG. I think with the time I invested in reading it, I sort of built that model by proxy as well.
Whatever helps you sleep at night...
Temactus Interuptus.
No classic languages response from me, but really glad the website's back! Thanks!
Thanks again to Ben for sorting all our web issues again! He's a diamond geezer!
Anyway, whilst it was down, this is what I was up to.....
Adding transfers to my Sea Harrier, building the wings of my Skywing MXS and finishing my Sapac Typhoon (that has been in the box for 18 months!)
took a wee break from the Cub and assembled a Sbach
Looks great - we can do formation aerobatics now with our Sbachs, Greg! ;D

Gravity9 aerobatic display at Greding Airshow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40A5Ht_Uobw#)
and jazzy music to fly too ;)
I just grabbed some more planes.. with all the black friday sales going on....
Well everyone is showing what they did well the website was down I figured I would show what I made.
I made this bag to protect my glider wing durring transport and storage. Its discounted fabric and some carpet underpad with two zippers. Think I have $25 tied up in it!
Oh and if this electronics thing I do for work now ever falls through I could become a seamstress!!!
Nice wing bag Ed. Though I should point out that Murphy's law frowns on such efforts.
I think I've covered Murphy. I figured adding 4" to the wing size would be enough additional wiggle room.... With the seams on the inside I had no room so I had to pull the threads out of the ends and do them over.
Ed - are you really talking about seams and threads? What's happened to you, man?
Wait for him to show us the sweet radio cosy that he's knitting.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
and yes Simon I designed the thing in my mind and woke from a dream with all the answers!! I think the more Im prevented from flying with all the crap weather the more... sorry have to run the cupcakes are ready!!
FWIW, Snowboard bags make great glider carriers.
Find them on ebay for ~$60.
Yes Pat! This is the season to find them too. I purchased a padded bag at sportcheck but wanted to have the wing in a seperate compartment like the real glider bags have then I could pack more than one model into the bag.
I had an opportunity to fly with Gerhard the COGG president last week and look forward to more exposure to thermal flying!
I think the bags we have are designed to hold 2 snow boards, there is a padded divider. Wings go in one side, fuse on the other.
But even in the bag having additional padding on the flying surfaces can keep the hanger rash down.
We also remove all the stuff for the wheels- makes the bag a lot lighter.
Spring is a good time to look for them - places clearing out stock.

Mine is a padded ski bag. I had a hard time finding a snowboard bag that would fit a 72"(1.83m) wing and settled on the ski bag as the Enigma wing is one piece.
How about a new handbag Ed? ;D
Oooooooh! That is a nice one Simon! Did they have two so we could have matching ones?
You two already have matching ones. You're sitting on them.
Papa.
could we please schedule another website disruption? I have a number of other projects to finish. thank you for your assistance.
