Phil, trains are cool as long as you don't have to ride the coaches.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-09-2003 04:22 PM                  I like big red trucks with shinny chrome bumpers and trim and great big wheels...lots of them, and... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 05-09-2003 07:01 PM                        But of course! From the Citabria and Cessna 140 I soloed in to the DC-3 I hope to fly someday, what's not to like?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-09-2003 08:28 PM                  Ok...I agree the DC3 is way cool!

Now I've re-read your post and it still doesn't 'clear up' my question. Sure, you said DC3's are cool... I agree, but so are pretty much any non-tricycle a/c setup.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 05-14-2003 05:28 AM                        Personally I much prefer helicopters. They are so much more practical. When I go shopping, I usually select a small light helicopter from my extensive collection of vehicles and aircraft and fly directly to the supermarket where I land on the roof.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-14-2003 12:30 PM                  ...and promply get a Parking Ticket. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

You don't need that much space... only a few hundred feet, preferably in a straight line.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

You have to clean all the blood from the blades and fuselage then.  |  IP: Logged
