hey LL, just browsing a couple of three view sites and there are a couple of decent free views of the whirlwind here:

Just an idea I’ve toyed with during quiet moments.

Take a fairly basic extinct airframe but one that would arouse some interest (and yes, I know, not a good starting point)…oh, and a complete set of drawings (highly unlikely I know).

What does it actually consist of? Tens of thousands of reasonably simple light alloy (or wooden) components, several thousand more complex components, and thousands of rivets, nuts, bolts, washers and other standard parts.

Now given a large (infinite) number of aircraft enthusiasts and a couple of decades…

…anybody see where I’m going with this?

only thing that crosses mind was the reference to a shackleton being described as ten thousand rivets flying close formation, but they aren’t extinct…. 😎 sounds interesting, what is it ???

I wondered how long it would take u B, Ive been waiting for it. 😀 Bex

i just couldn’t contain myself any longer :p :p :p

ah my bad 😮 still its good to see her outside 🙂

if that mockup had made it to production, forgive the unintended pun, but it would have absolutely flown 😉 dimension wise it doesn’t look that much wider than a standard spit, except with twice the power :diablo:
