The A-10 doesn't have to worry about going supersonic. :-)
The wing has a substantial amount of curvature over the top surface, better
for generating high lift, I think.

Busy with life in general. Lugnet got to be too much of a time drain. Way to
easy to sit for several hours a day just reading. So I sort of took a break
from it, and even from playing with Lego (sounds of horrified screams come
from the readers).
Still interested, just can't devote so much time to it. Now I have the two
UCS sets, thanks to Legoland and the staff discount, so I will probably try to
find time to assemble them. Which gives me a good excuse to procrastinate on
several other needed Lego-related projects - though getting an ldraw update
done for Steve Bliss is a top priority.
And this thread on doing an A-10 caught my eye because I have often thought of
doing an A-10 myself. I think it is one of a very small number of aircraft
that would make an excellent subject for Lego.
So don't think you've gotten rid of me. :-)
