If he were trying to sell
this design to lockheed, then I’d laugh too. But he’s not. He’s building it
to make flying noises out of the right side of his mouth, and shooting noses
out of the left as he makes a pass on his cat.

But, hey, my opinions are as good
as farts in the wind.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha beats chaff doesn’t it.
I read your other reply to Jon and I see where you were coming from. No hard
feelings, it just seemed like you were jumping on him or something, which you
weren’t.
Sorry bout my jackalizing.

For example, the bi-wing in the front creates a tremendous blind spot for
both crewmen (I assume one is a pilot and the other is a navigator or
bombardier?). Perhaps the top wing is for extra lift because of the huge gat
in front? If so, it may be pointless since the top wing limits crucial
visibility in air-to-air combat. I believe that’s one reason why bi-plane
fighters were replaced by mono-planes in WWII.

I remember reading once that the tri-wing+ concept was scrapped when it was
realized that it didn’t really provide any more lift potential than a bi-wing,
but I suspect the switch from WWI bi-wings to WWII mono-wings had more to do
with advances in wing-construction. The bi-wing wings were just frames with
cloth strapped over the top, and no solid undersides. Mono-wing wings were
fully-skinned with metal plating over a highly sculpted inner frame (and the
advent of the jet engine made wing shape so much less important than it was in
prop-driven planes that jet planes can fly upside-down for extended periods),
and the advanced wing design simply rendered the bi-wing concept just as
pointless as the tri-wing.

NICE... how do you find things like that? :)

Careful. People who ask Jon that question tend to get dragged off by the nice
men in black suits.

It took me a while to wrap my brain around the direction this thing flies,
but once I figurd it out, I’m rather impressed.
I mourn for the loss of the stud, though. All this snot/studless building...

Thanks Adrian! You should take some time off from the Trib and make a plane.
That would be great.
The stud is dead. Long live the SNOT.
