Yes, the issue with Carl getting his own item was my mistake. I drew Hubert’s name, but I was truly whupped from running all day long that I screwed up and put Carl’s name in by mistake. I was announcing it all on a video at the same time. so who entered and didn’t win something? Martin and I had talked and he was going to offer Max’s gift up to others, but maybe if Max is here as an alias?? I’d like to know who didn’t win because I’ll fix that real quick... As for Max, he’s a real decent bloke and personally, I really miss him.

It is the Best of Times...

I see Kitsworld is coming out with Dragon and it's Tail in 1/32....

Well, in the interest of advancing all possibilities in fixes here, Iain is trying a rather promising looking radical surgery over on TOS that looks somewhat major but looks like it might just work. He overlayed the two aerofoils on top of each other using a computer plotter, then determined through a complicated series of grids, graphs, vectors, and calculations, that if he bends the aerofoil down at about the 1/3 chord and flattens the bottom the corresponding amount, he will get the Davis profile, or close enough to it. Then, he bends the trailing edge down a few degrees without moving the leading edge and that gives him the Davis profile and the proper angle of incidence on the wing which eliminates the "trailing edge is too high" complaint and "wing is too flat" complaints all in one swoop. It sounds complicated, and yes, any of you who are my age or older probably recognized the Rube Goldberg inflections in my decriptions, but in all seriousness, the guy's a bleedin' wizard with plastic and I'm looking forward to see what happens.

I think everyone won SOMETHING?

Yeah it certainly had a high pucker factor for a bit. And all of my own making, too

Yeah BUDDY!

You funny man...

Is there another way to post it here other than from YouTube? It's on my iPhone right now and I need to get it on to the forum. Ideas?

Done!

Last time I checked, Bill lives up Rochester, NY way, and that’s Lancaster Country! Hamilton’s right across the lake! He should be seriously pumped over this.

Carl, I’ll need to know your choice of Wingnut kit, Sir

Yep, tornado watch tomorrow

Joy doesn't like this. She says it's too "Redneck" but I love it! I think it's absolutely hilarious.

Moral: senile old coots don’t need to be doing things involving memory

So I’m losing my mind. The book Carl donated was won by Hubert but I somehow brain farted and put it as won by himself. I’ll be uploading the video which will explain it all sorry guys. List amended.

Yep for some reason I had a brain fart. Carl won his own prize, I drew one one twice, and Hubert didn’t win. No not cool. I’ll check

Aaaaaand despite all my careful planning, Carl won his own prize. Dangit! I’ll figure something out for this

Video will be posted as soon as I figure out how

To everyone who participated, THANK YOU! Mods and Admins, thanks for allowing this to happen! Y’all are a breath of fresh air! It was a pleasure to do this and I’m sure we’ll do it again next year. Those who donated, please get in touch with the winners and arrange shipping to the winners location. Merry Christmas!

Entrants. Just verifying I missed nobody

I’ll try to post it here as well. Afterwards. Along with the results. I hadn’t thought of doing it live, because I’m not FB friends with everyone here and many aren’t even on FB anyway. Was just going to post the video there.
