"Well I'll be superamalgamated! Posthumous disfigurement to the cranial structure with a proclivity toward the assessment that the act was vehemently executed!" said the gaunt-featured archaeologist, William Harper Littlejohn.

(...) Remove the pilot from the PP. Does it look better without the pilot? To me, pantoon plane is seriously undersized. Two engines just for a single-seat plane? The PP is a single seater, only for the same reason that all the semi rigs in Town are (...) (26 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Hi, Kevin. I originally gave a response here: (URL) I'll try to give some abbreviated comments again here. I guess my main gripe with the PP is that the two sets of wings are too close together (in my opinion the upper wings should be above (...)

(...) Yes, they are called Tail Draggers because it appears that they are dragging their tails, not because they actually do. Tail Draggers are harder to take off in, you have to do a series of S turns in order to actually see down the runway. And (...) (26 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)

(...) Yes , they did have a skid of some type. I put the term "tail draggers" in quotes because I think that was the nick name of the style of landing gear, as opposed to the tripod or "tricycle" style which has a wheel under the front nose and two (...)

Hi all, I came across a few sets of Adventures #5978 at Target the other day that were $27.00. That wasn't their normal price was it? And they weren't on sale either. It has over 300 pieces in it!
