Thanks!

Yes, but that's a recurring theme with all your posts [;)]

Hi Ray, fancy seeing you here - this in one game I'm going to teach you how to play online [;)]

Oh, and : propellor driven by elastic band that goes through the body all the way to the tail of the aircraft. You could get amazing distances out of such an aircraft but repairing/changing the band was major surgery.

Hi Eddy
Two points:
1 You're older than you pretend.
2 I only come here to get away from you. [:'(]

In the ancient parlance you're familiar with I'm exactly "two score" - but because I act like a young puppy I can sometimes fool people for some of the time. Of course there are always a select few that I've never been able to fool at all [;)]

Obviously.

I suggest posting in the Needleworks Forum again - you're almost guaranteed never to see me there [;)]

"Pull the string! Pull the string!" is a great line from the Ed Wood film "Glen or Glenda". Such a great line that it deserves to be used in other contexts for launching something or going ahead with a course of action.

Yep. Balsa wood and tissue paper.
Mine were never painted because I never finished one ... if I did, it all collapsed on itself on first winding.[:(]
Oh well. Some things are better in the anticipation than the reality ... bit like all life really.
(Unlike this game of course. [;)]

I'd rather have a (relatively) bug free game even if it takes a little longer. Besides, it's not as if there aren't any new, good wargames out there to get as a Christmas present.[:)]
