It's relatively common to adjust the incidence on the ground by giving the rigging wires a twist or two. The idea is to get the aeroplane flying straight and level in the cruise. In most aeroplanes (non-rotary) you're compensating for the slipstream from prop, not torque, or for other draggy problems. But with differences from wing to wing being (typically) about one degree, try modelling that in 1/72. :-) DC ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 17:48:36 +1000 From: "D Charles" To: Subject: Future, Clear,Shine Magic Message-ID: <000801c09b18$e8ac4be0$db2ad7d2@charls> >> What effect does it have on CA, either before or >> after using the glue? > >None that I see, except that it is easier to break off CyA'ed parts applied >after the Future is on.

I was quite amazed, but for the american denizens it looked quite normal. It looked sort of a supermarket for hobbyists.... Here the Hobby shops are a guy behind a counter and behind him a series of shelves full of models. And if you're a client and worth trusting, he would let you inspect the shelves by yourself and try finding that elusive kit instead of making him losing time to see if the "1/72 Naglo Quadruplane" is still availabe.

However, you lose all chances of modifying the database (I guess I can't call it a DB anymore ;-) yourself, which is one of the beauties. Like I said, still thinking this through. If I had a server where I could store a 2+meg database, and run PHP, then I could upload it to the web and let the list members go from there, without worrying about it. Hmmm...
