Hello Vortilon and welcome to the "Funny Farm".

Strange you should mention working on plastic airplanes. A bunch of us have just been doing the same thing.

Welcome aboard sir, with an avatar like VORTILON, are you an old DC-9 hand?
You will find the inmates here mostly mellowed out and, at least on the surface happy go lucky. As Boris the hangman in "BLAZING SADDLES" said 'everyone is equal in my eye' enjoy the ride my friend!!!!!

It flies very well. :wink:

The bastard child airplanes always seem to find me like the Percival Pembroke I used to own. I need my head examined. I'm now dreaming of building an HO 229, an army of lawyers will descend from the fatherland.

I spent many a day repairing DC-9 and MD-80.

I have photos of new member Vorliton showing him in a series of compromising positions. Unless Vorliton sends me $25,000 in small unmarked bills by next Monday, I will start posting the photos. :twisted:

Albert bring em on!

Panel X-40? You got me there. My days were spent grinding corrossion, replacing seat tracks, replacing Honeycomb TE panels etc..

The Starship S/N is 33 and is back in service.

Oh I forgot my Pem was the ragged one at Puyallup Wa.

Sorry vortilon, I should have guessed that you were a fellow knuckle dragger and not an avionics leg shaver. The X-40 is in the opening of the access hatch from the flight deck (can't say cockpit, not P.C. enough) and the E&E bay on the left side above the GCU test panel.
