What a great project. Great choice on the wheels. The red really looks great.

It's unfortunate that when a post is quoted that the default would be that only text would be quoted. There are really very few cases that the pictures need to be repeated. Repeating only the text would be a sensible way to solve the problem.

Amazing work as always.

interesting. In my opinion the tamiya wins. one of the biggest drawbacks of the Rustoleum is the drying time.

Also what about the members that log in infrequently. Will they be allowed to login?

Sorry guys haven't been working on this. Been having issues with my right shoulder. I'm getting physical therapy to get through it. I'm really looking forward to getting back on this.

Done. No issues.

Very disappointing that he was allowed a plea deal. He is old enough to know better and should have had the book thrown at him.

Haven't been able to get bench time. Hoping to get some time in the next few days. Will update when I do get some time.

What a monumental tradegy. My thoughts and prayers go out to all impacted by this. I will wait to hear what the NTSB finds from the investigation. I remember a while back when the air show tragedy occurred and everyone was just sure of who was at fault.

Garbage in garbage out. If AI is going to be trained it needs to be a valid verified data source. Scraping random data is building a foundation on quicksand.

Spend a dollar to save a nickel.

Good points. One problem is people refuse to agree to disagree and let the subject go. They also says thins that if you said to the face of the other person you'd be missing a few teeth. Finally there seems to be a totally unwillingness to be civil towards others.

Good for you. I've never felt the need to waste my time on Facebook or any other social media sights although I do enjoy using YouTube for exploring modeling content.

I took general engineering classes in Junior college bc (before computers). Calculations were done with slide rules and you needed to estimate that you were gett8ng a reasonable answer. I still do math with pencil and paper and will also compare answers with a calculator. It's important to know how to do things without the aid of technology.

I don't really understand all of this animosity toward those who create content for youtube. Why is it such an issue that they can make a few bucks off of the efforts. Nobody complains if one writes a magazine gets paid for submitting an article. As far as getting kit samples if one is going to do lots of reviews it's unlikely they are going to buy all the kits themselves. As long as the reviewer makes it known that it was supplied by the manufacturer I don't see an issue.

Well said. This is what we should be direction our energies into. There are plenty of other places for other discussions if you really feel the need.

Love the idea. Cool concept. Make it happen.

Some progress.

OK got something to show. I mated the back part of the Cobra to the interior tub(just tacked in place needs to be mounted permanently). I also added a slight flare to the rear fenders) they will be blended in to be less notable. Next up will be to get the chassis mocked up to see what's next.

Yeah i agree Bill. However besides the violating the airspace there are other potential charges. The drone operator recklessly endangered the lives of the pilots. The lost of the plane to fight t he fire which has taken lives could also contribute to the death toll. Not coming forward is not going to help them. I also suspect that the video was being taken to share on social media to generate likes so it is extremely likely the drone operator will be found.

Saw a piece in the news that the FBI is looking for the drone owner. The pieces of drone have been recovered. The drone type has been identified. The owner faces felony charges. Whoever was responsible should come forward and take ownership of their stupidity.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Working on cleaning upthe suspension pieces. Working out a couple of others things that need to be figured out. Will post photos when I get to a point that is worth showing.

Great to see this kit back. As far as a new body goes it's more likely something that a 3d printer would do. Don't see that there would be enough of a market to justify the cost of producing a new body.
