Painless

~S~ Chaps, BLOODY FANTASTIC SHOW !! Sounds like you did the Dogz proud Absolutely gutted here that my poxy connection decided to grind to a virtual halt 3 hours before match start. After many phone calls to India I managed to get frigging no where !!

~S~ Diggers are cool things ay !! Makes you feel like your 7 again

~S~ chaps, thanks for your comments, I have an electrician M8 at work who I have asked to come have a look see. He said that it could be an intermittent leakage to earth or some bloody thing !! Anyway he can't get round until next week so fingers crossed for Sunday

~S~ Chaps, does anyone know why my bloody MCBs trip out in the house from time to time?(usually when I'm in the middle of flying !!) It happens several times in a row with a different a MCB being the cause each time for a few days then its fine for weeks sometimes ?? I even had it happen when no one is in and nothing much is being used . Any thoughts ?? ~S~ Painless

~S~ Prop pitch is always a good conversation point with the wife if there is nothing on the TV !!! LMAO This is what we came up with over a hot chocolate beverage for those who are unsure...... 100% = fine pitch= high engine revs =easier overheat= rads open more=drag, (but often gives optimum level flight performance). 95% and lower=coarser pitch=lower engine revs=less overheat=rads open less =less drag. Lower % prop pitch gives more torque loading on engine which is why revs fall. Drag is exponential with speed so its best to have rads open when going relatively slowly IE; climbing or at the slowest point of a turn or loop if possible. Shutting rads in a dive is good for speed but conversely opening them in a dive can cool the engine nicely IF you have

!!S!! Art, Thanks to you and all your old buddies for your help when we needed it sir ! ~S~ Painless

~S~ Dave, thats the nicest 1/48th I've ever seen M8. You are going to have to do one hell of a job with the paint to make the exterior look as good as the interior !! LOL More pics please. ~S~ Painless

~S~ Carlos, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Muffins !!!! LMAO ~S~ Painful.

~S~ Carlos, you sure do know how to capture a "birds" best profile dude !! May have to print a couple of those pics off for my locker at work

~S~ I thought they were bigger than that !! LOL

~S~ Awsome man, awsome driver. Always horrible to hear that children have lost their lives. I wish it hadn't happened.

~S~ Chaps, I just removed my earlier post because its a bad idea to post when your a little miffed ! Suffice to say I am going to get the chaps at work to give the jet reaction thing a go. Maybe something a little lighter than a car.......maybe the chiefs wallet

~S~Rog/ Chris, CALL THAT A FIRE !! LMAO ~S~ Flameless

~S~ ! you guys crack me up LMFAO ~S~ Painless

~S~

~S~ Carl, sorry if that came across a little "direct" M8 LOL Its just that there has to be a cut off point when being "tolerant"of all peoples and cultures goes out of the window. When bombs are exploding 70 miles from where my kids sleep ,(London) I get a little bit pissed off at those responsable for AND those who support such actions!! Great thread BTW JP, very interesting to learn a little more about the way the guys in the squad think ! ~S~ Painless

~S~ Chaps, I don't like to get up onto my high horse and ridicule other peoples or religions because like most of us I only know what the media machine tells me..........I could have it all wrong, I may be jumping on a misinformed western band wagon.........but..... IF ANY OF THOSE BACKWARD RAG HEAD BASTARDS THREATEN MY CHILDRENS FUTURE THEY CAN F_CK OFF AND DIE !! Just a fathers point of view peace brothers. ~S~ Painless

~S~ KaiserB_uk , M8 it was the highlight of my evening LOL ~S~ DD_Painless

~S~ BF chaps, I also enjoyed counting the holes in my wings !! LOL You guys DO what we know we should be doing, forming up and flying as wingmen 2 ship, 4 ship whatever. All of us noticed and many commented on ,(including myself), the fact that as soon as we damaged or killed one of your guys someone would be straight on our six, often 2 or 3 of you. I've been banging on about flying as wingmen/sections for as long as I can remember but for a normal squad coop you can get away without it usually. NOT SO against another bunch who know what they are doing ! So thank you for making that obvious and maybe ,(like we have before on occasions), our guys might actually want to TRAIN in sections !! lmao (fat chance) ~S~ Painless PS: had a great 1 vs 1 fight with one of you guys, (I was in a Spit and you were in a 109) , you were smoking but still flying low and slow brilliantly until I ran out of ammo and broke off. You posted "~S~ Spit" but my reply was trampled. ~S~ to you to sir whoever you were.

~S~ DT, one good pair of F2A2s could do in a Seafire but would have to set them selves up very carefully for a faster opponenet me thinks ?? Hell lets try it out ay LOL ~S~ Painless

~S~ M8, where does Andrew find the time LMAO ~S~ Painful.

~S~ Mike and Artie, Happy bloody birthday chaps !!! May you have several more ! LMAO ~S~ Painless

~S~ Dazza M8, so you want to play BOB huh ? Beautifully rendered Spitfires coursing across a virgin blue sky shooting the Hun from our sovereign airspace, ohhhhh suits you sir !! Yeah quite keen on the idea myself LOL Also watched "Flags" and "letters" back to back and loved them both. FLAGS: Found the portrayal of the politicians of the day to be very believable. LETTERS: Felt sorry for the Japanese foot soldier who was brutalised into subservience. Nice to hear from you again Dazza Cheers, ~S~ Painless

~S~Fenrir sir, might be nice to link up for a bit of fun, what say you BG ? ~S~ DD_Painless

~S~ Dave you nutta !! LOL ~S~ Painless
