    That's what happen with jet drives, rudders set on the horizontal and trim tabs on the vertical! :p

    Even though it is the third time these pictures are around the forum, they are still funny, the only thing the last pic needs is hiding what is left of the crane or at least the hydraulic jacks.

    Thanks to you and Eric.

    Cheers,

    Really? My bad!! I haven't been following YF as closely as usual. My head's been in the clouds, sorta speak. Not unlike the Roamer in the picture above.

    Not bad at all, it is a chance to hear some nice lines commenting on the pix, other threads were about different subjects so its nice for this to have a real chance to shine.

    Best of luck and wishes that JF will "take off" soon.

    Cheers,
