The first person whom can tell what the fish is, will get the answer of the shaft.

[cdebaca]

I will PM that is.But post your guess here.

[birdlives1955]

Is it Greg Norman's favorite parkjet? :D I think you have to know who Greg Norman is to know why that's funny.
Um, well the fish looks like a shark because of the big vertical tail :D , but the fins don't look like a shark's, so I guess that's out.... I dunno.... Is it a flying flish? :D

[J Morgan]

Sure looks like you're making a driveshaft so you can mid-mount the motor and make balancing easier. But watch the friction losses, I ran into that with my F-4.

[birdlives1955]

Hmm..... Tigershark? F-20??

[cdebaca]

Doh! no! Thats a real fish based on scale.
A clue? Don't get ship wrecked.

Balance is key here the shaft is well made,and balanced.

[im-sad]

A shark? But it could be a shark-Orca mixed breed;)

[AIR SALLY]

Great White or i think it's called a whale shark :confused:

[docrob]

I'll go with Matt's version. It's Greg Norman's newest golf club, where he uses his transmitter to hit a 300 yard drive :D

[cdebaca]

I'v been looking at this shark for some time it sets itself apart due to it's very large fins.I'm thinking this guy can fly!the "chucky" proves it.

[birdlives1955]

LOL Doc, right on. :D

Really? WOW! That's gonna be wild man! Dude, that's pretty neat, a real flying fish! :D That's really cool though I will look forward to seeing this being built! :)

[macboffin]

I made a little chuckie as close to pic as poss; it flies pretty well.
Thinks............I have a ton of balsa etc, and an O.S. 91 waiting around for something to do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Would have to have retracts of course, and, hmmmmmmmm!

This seems like an interesting project. I just put my assistants on to working out 3 views for THIS one :D :p

My people will contact your people we will discuss the fish out of water project :)

[cdebaca]

Will it sink or swim?lol this is good fun.

[docrob]

You bet!!!! If it sinks, we can always put my people back on the job to winch it out and study it all over again :p

If it swims, we can harpoon it and bring it back up :p

This proves fish can fly! My shark will have elevons,but should fly similar.
I'm still working on the TSR-2 but I've always wanted to fly a shark,so I'm waiting on parts for R-2 I will start a new thread for the shark in the park flyers forums.
As for the shaft it was custom built for Agent"Jimmy" for his new------------ doh I can't tell you!But I will say he will start a new build thread here for you soon!I'm going to drop off the shaft at Jimmy's today.

[cdebaca]

So know one knows what this shark is?Ok fine,I was just trying to have a little fun.
It's a ------- ---- tip.

[im-sad]

Oceanic whitetip :)

[cdebaca]

You got it!!!! Oceanic Whitetip!!! Good Job! The answer to the shaft is yours!
AC'

[cdebaca]

Fish can't fly?

[cdebaca]

Swim with the fishes.....Nice.

[docrob]

Hmmm....Oceanic Whitetip.... I KNEW it...it was on the tip of my tongue. We see them around here all the time. If you guys look at New Delhi on an India map, you'll see we're surrounded by deep, deep water bodies. Dang, shoulda got that one :mad:

Doc

[cdebaca]

Good job Doc, but I'm Sad beat you to it. I have one question, have you ever really seen an Oceanic Whitetail in your waters?

[docrob]

LOL, seen it???? First time I even heard the name :p :p . I was just kidding. If you really look at New Delhi on a map, you'll see we're landlocked for hundreds of miles all around. No deep waters around these here parts, my friend :D .

Only time I've been close to a shark is at an aquarium in Singapore.

Doc

[cdebaca]

LOL I don't care who you are thats funny!
