  1. All right, just came back from the shop. After little setback with the hood it all looks like she is going to be done this year :). Hood was wet sanded again, first cut polish on the fenders and more detailing to come. I am coming back on Friday to exchange the wheels and pop on some mud flaps

  5. There is another interesting fact about this paint. It has an odour. Weird chemical, ever-present smell.
  6. character-building in British (ˈkærɪktəbɪldɪŋ) adjective improving certain good or useful traits in a person's character, esp self-reliance, endurance, and courage The Institute sends people aged between 17 and 25 on character-building 'expeditions'. The experience of boarding school was character-building. Lots of people think sport is character-building.
  7. Yakutia diorama. Shortly after takeoff from Batagay Airport, while in initial climb, the crew encountered technical problems with both engines. Unable to gain sufficient height, the pilot-in-command attempted an emergency landing near a river located one km from the airfield. The airplane hit trees, crash landed, lost its undercarriage and came to rest in a wooded area. While all five crew members were uninjured, the airplane was written off. Causes: It was determined that the crew failed to prepare the flight properly and hurried the departure. With an OAT of -48° C., the oil was not sufficiently warm and this caused the engine to run improperly after rotation, with propellers blocked in an angle between 20° and 30°, causing drag and impeding the plane to gain sufficient altitude. In such conditions, an emergency landing was unavoidable.
