With fins and rudders and mainplane incidence being (sometimes) offset for easy cruise flight and the P-factor being significantly reduced at that time due to the angle of incidence of the thrust line being closer to zero degrees I'm sticking with slipstream. But feel free to try and convince me otherwise- off list . Back to my rock. David >I challenge anyone on the list to show me the mathematical proof that >slipstream swirl exists!

Fluorocarbon based propellent cans have been banned. There are still propellent cans but an alternative propellant, hopefully more environmentally sound, has been substituted. There are no Environmental Police that will give you a ticket for spray painting your hot rod or Me-1*9 thingy. I think Acrylic Paints have come about for 2 reasons: a.) Ease of use for the end user. b.) Solvent handling for the manufacturer is covered by Environmental Law. You don't have the manufacturing expense of vapor recovery or the level of concern about fires or explosions with Acrylics.

One thing doesn't forbids the other, Bob! Steve's idea of a design to print on a T-shirt locally is the best option, IMHO. Listees come in all sizes and colours and it'll be not an easy task to print in a series of T-shirt sizes from "weedy" to "Bloody Paralyzer". Let's start with a colorful design that would look good printed on a white T-shirt. A choice for those who attends to meetings in winter where a Tshirt is not the usual attire, can be a simpler design -a logo perhaps- that can be embroidered on a patch. At least on my city there's several shops that can translate a computer file to an automatic embroiderer. What do you think?

Reading them I couldn't avoid imagining a young Lee Mensinger assembling plastic kits in post-war Japan, a small John Cyg riding his bike down the street with his face shining and a new kit on the basket, the other John, filling his eyes with astonishment in Talbot's in 1958 and the boy Robert Karr was dreaming with Gothas every night...

Since I have no "Medical necessity" I am forced to drive around the worst parts of DC late at night, where "My man" drives up in a car with tinted windows. I say, sort of frustrated like, "Hey, what this? I said I wanted German Purple and this is German Mauve!" and he says, "Well man, that's all I got. Do you want it or not?" Starting to sweat, I say, "No, no, that's fine, I'll take it, I'll take it!". Crumbs, if I can't get some Humbrol Oxford Blue tonight I know I just going to die! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Truth is Sandy, I think your mate is not really thinking. Enamels abound over here and you get spray paints in a can etc. without any problem. Now, getting decent acrylic metallics - that's a problem.
