You wouldn’t have the HOTAS stick from Goering’s little Fokker would you?

Absolutely! Painted white too

Setting aside the ballad of the lost-thread for a moment…
It strikes me that the OP is more likely to find the experts he needs for his TV programme than victims of fraud
Anyway, if you’ll excuse me, I have to nip out into the workshop to paint some canvas red. Christmas is coming and my stock of genuine Red Baron DR.I relics is running low

I was wondering, have the wings been ‘repaired’ by just skinning over the cut with thin sheet – no structural work done?
Richard
No I meant that large delta triangle with seagulls on it on that link.

If my wife saw this she would want to iron it!
Even I want to iron it

Trying to predict the future of aeroplane engines is nigh on impossible. Take this for an example:

I think a spark transmitter will broadcast over quite a wide section of the radio spectrum. Everyone will get a bit 🙂
Indeed. Which explains the bit that Robs put in his fascinating post:
1924 international agreement to prohibit their use

I still think you could grow good rhubarb with it

Rhubarb forcer?

I’ll get my coat…
I was watching that with the sound off, and the bit at 23 seconds had me worried…

Still, at least no turtle bones to confuse the issue!

I once saw a demonstration (I think on TV) of an anvil which was turned upside down to expose a recess in its base about 2ins square by a half inch deep. This was filled with black powder and another anvil placed on top with a fuse to set it off.
Bearing in mind the anvil weighed around 50kg, when the charge was fired it shot it around 100 feet into the air. Some kick:eek:

Anvil firing – another quaint colonial tradition. Quite a few videos on Youtube

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so, if nothing heavy comes out of the dangerous end of the musket then there will be no noticeable recoil. You’ll feel the shock of the powder going off but thats all.
To take your information one step further, you’ll feel the recoil of the combined mass of the powder charge and combined oxygen leaving the barrel. Still next to nothing though

Years old and Thunder City stopped operating last year..
