Monty Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I was surprised there was no Chappaquiddick kit. Maybe they'll cross that bridge when they come to it...
SuperStockAndy Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Okay? Kind of weird in my opinion..
moparmagiclives Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 found it to be in extremely poor taste .... From a guy whos avatar looks to read " balls out" ?
Joe Handley Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Saw this on another board and found it to be in extremely poor taste .... I have to concur
TurboKitty Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 From a guy whos avatar looks to read " balls out" ? Do you know what "balls out" actually means, or are you just nitpicking?
moparmagiclives Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Do you know what "balls out" actually means, or are you just nitpicking? As in " The full centrifical governed speed on a watts style steam engine " No I dont, just nitpicking
bigphoto Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Heck I thought Luke57 sent this from great hobby room in the sky! He would be proud!
TurboKitty Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) As in " The full centrifical governed speed on a watts style steam engine " No I dont, just nitpicking I've always known it as a pilot's term for full throttle, since both throttle handles had balls at the top. Moving them forward all the way to increase speed meant the "balls" were closest to the firewall. Anyway too bad these are shopped, it would have been neat to do the Roswell kit. There's probably something like that out already but I've never looked lol. Edited September 27, 2011 by TurboKitty

Anyway, its another term for "full steam" anyway you put it....just nitpicking again

TurboKitty Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 There's more than one term for the same or similar definitions......... "Balls to the wall" and "Balls out" are pretty much the same thing. Same goes for "straight out" or "full brass" , both different sayings for the same thing (basically full throttle or to accelerate). Anyway...... 30 seconds on ebay and I find these lol:
SuperStockAndy Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Wouldnt that be " balls to the wall' ? Anyway, its another term for "full steam" anyway you put it....just nitpicking again ..I just thought it was a term for turning a corner really fast
Sixx Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Wouldnt that be " balls to the wall' ? Anyway, its another term for "full steam" anyway you put it....just nitpicking again Balls to the wall man....sorry, just reminded me of the german metal band...Accept!! LOL!!!
