I’d fly something russian, in general, russian designs seem to be rock solid… you know the type you can maintain with a ball hammer… and that’s it! As long as the aircraft is maintained by someone who knows what they’re doing, I’d fly it, regardless of it’s country of origin, it’s been designed by a proffessional, and wouldn’t be allowed to fly if it was going to fall to bits!!

Also Thermodynamics!

Got the penguin 322.9 normally… but doing it javelin style… got 207.1. That’s a great game… LOL!!!!!!!!!

The APU is effectively the core of a turbofan engine, the bit that powers the fan. There will be turbine blades, to extract as much power from the burned air as possible. I doubt the APU would do much good in moving the aircraft, as the APU will have taken most of the energy out of the air. Similar to a helicopter engine, which doesn’t produce much (if any) thrust, as the available energy is used in turning the turbines to drive the rotors and such.

“*Sigh* WHY ME? I always have to do the tidying up!”

Looks like it’s coming along nicely!!! That’s one big model, let us know when it’s finished… want to see pics!!!

Tried it… I get links to a Prof. Heinrich GZYL somewhere in poland, some random microchip names in the states, and a Sonia GZYL, who apparently wants to get to know me better…. and wants me to stay online so I can see her picture… which doesn’t load!

I’m Bloody Sam Kidd…. the new adition to the Brotherhood of Kidd!
