    Sounds sweet.

    Going flying but keeping my phone and wallet in
    My pockets.

    Choice of words are important and you can bet that Tom reviews these clues. They said its not foil.....but something to get excited about.
    My prediction of either a double unveiling or
    Short time period back to back delivery just may come true. Anyhow, we have deduced that Foil
    And the red Avanti are pulling into the dock.

    Plane
    Foil is pulling into the dock? How have you come to that conclusion?

      Eventually....as in, They have been on the water.
      Just guessing though. Maybe it its not ready ?
      Trying to keep this fun...accurate, well maybe not so much.
      I dident actually see the boat, good catch.
      Happy labor day to everyone, especially the Motion staff for their labor of love.

        You guys make me smile.


        I'm reminded of an ex-girlfriend years ago, who was one of those people that loved the idea of wearing matching patterned clothes (gal in a dress and guy in a matching patterned shirt) to public events. I was not one of those people. Around that time I learned the value of a phrase which became my preference and commonly exclaimed request: "Complimentary, not matchy matchy".

        To this day, we strive to balance that same ideal in our product lineup. Complimentary, not matchy matchy.



        CSI that. :)

                I have flown the L-39 in the DCS flight simulator which it the most accurate simulation ever done of it, but I was kind of disappointed by it's performance. I much more enjoy flying the F-86 Sabre over the L-39 in DCS.
                I like the idea of big power from 90mm power plants but I do not like the low flight times. Until battery technology improves I will be sticking to mostly 70mm -80mm fans with the exception of the 90mm F-4 Phantom or a dream jet like the AJS-37 Viggen.

                        Video on FB looks like either a mig 15 or 17 (seems to be mid wing edf with tanks) although its very pixelated
                        EDIT: well it just loaded in HD and it looks like an l39

                          It could be a T-38, very front silhouette.

                                  Yeah, He would have been too young to fly Corsairs. So, the L-39 is probably likely since the F4 has been covered.

                                      The length of the stab in the still I posted is minimal.
                                      And they have one as such.
                                      I wonder how many stores are out of Calamine lotion from forearms being scratched raw by now ;)

                                          An 80mm L-39 would be cool. Done up like the L-39 he flew in the Reno Air Races 10 years ago, this month. A real hotrod.
