New WIG "Red dragonfly".

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All members :) .
I want to make WIG who is the child of suitable of the boat and the airplane this time though I am contributing chiefly to the boat session. The image of a real ship is appended ;) .
The test operation of this ship in Hiroshima in Japan. The impellent uses the outboard motor. The name is named, and painted on vivid red , saying that "Red dragonfly".
This concludes my report.

[adamdb]

Very interesting! The pictures are actually good enough that you can identify some important details, like basic incidence angle relationship of the wings. Do you have any other photos or drawings? It looks like this should not be very difficult to duplicate.

[metroidrc]

wow look at them airfoils!

Hi!.　 :) 　adamdb　san
There is no too detailed information because this WIG was experimentally produced only by one boat.
URL from which this WIG is introduced is recorded here.

http://www.kaikoukan.jp/shipbuild_kenkyu.html

I will try making to the drawing by information that can be observed from this image by the imagination. Maybe, because I have 30 experiences or more of the RC flight in and the design production experiences of the RC seaplane, it is possible ;) .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

wow look at them airfoils!

Hi!. :) metroidrc　san.

It is so. ｡It is an air exactly foil as said by you.
It has the style that looks like a red dragonfly in the style that wings it to the motorboat, there is very a charm because it runs with the outboard machine, and I want to make it by all means. :D

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. All :)
Process of "Akatonnbo" the following
Because a red dragonfly was found while strolling today
It took a picture with the digital camera. Does a red dragonfly have any
country? :confused:
Well, "Red dragonfly" of WIG : to the following process.
It takes. First of all, the illustration was made imagining the side chart to
analyze from the image and to trace the plans. Perhaps, it is possible to
look for the camber to the wing to obtain the lift at low speed efficiently. :D
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. :)
All.
Well, the drawing will be advanced for the red dragonfly production. Let's advance it by the technique this time because the radio controller model is Computamoderinged and produced with 3DCAD recently. ;)
The side chart is drawn, and the following first ascertain the feature of an upper chart, the front chart, and the airframe (hull) and decide externals line. Externals of those floats serve as a reference because it has experienced the characteristic of Tatai and the airplane of a high-speed ship enough because the part that cannot be judged in the image has experienced the design and the flight ..more than current my experience (The seaplane is 30 years :D )...
More than above :p

Anytime! :)

[y.takahashi]

You could use a commercially available outboard motor. Graupner makes this one:

Thank you.!! ｡　　Trisquire　san :)

Thank you for teaching Graupner outboard motor. To tell the truth, I also had enumerated this outboard motor in one of the candidates. The outboard motor of KYOUSHO of Japan that had used it before had already become a production stoppage, and was searching . I advance the adoption of this outboard motor by your recommendation ;) .

Please expect it of progressing my log in the future:D.

Animation on the site of WIG that you had introduced became reference very much. And,　　
The article on the out board motor also serves as a reference. UP does the modeling situation of "Red dragonfly" today. Externals line to making from the externals line chart to the hull float part to 3D has been caused. The experience of the seaplane is useful around here. It does the same type as the float of the seaplane :D . This concludes my report.

Hello. ！｡ DT56　san
　Thank you for giving the article on WIG. It technically becomes reference very much :)
. Well, "Red dragonfly" advances 3DCAD modeling of a hull main float and the hull cabin. When shape comes into view considerably, it becomes happy :D .
This concludes my report.

Thank you!! . ｡metroidrc san :)
The design of your Anti-Gravity Racers is wonderful :D . It is a super-car of the hovercraft. Because I also made the RC hovercraft several years ago, it knows the principle. There is very a speed feeling, and I think the appearance that Anti-Gravity Racers runs to be good :) .
today My " red dragonfly'" s progress is improved. The shape of the wing was completed.
This concludes my report.

This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!! .All :)
It introduces the next production scene of my red dragonfly.
The modeling of the wing is gotten, and there is almost a style completing. A structural
design that is more detailed than this starts. :D
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All. :)
Because modeling by 3Dcad of "Akatonbo" advanced and had shaped, the rendering was finished up with CG. :D
It finished it up in the image to which it went in vast expanse of ocean. It came to want to make the thing model early because it ..real feeling.. had finished :D . It has already flown to my head on the inside ;) .
This concludes my report.

[metroidrc]

very nice renderings! Of course, I'm looking forward to the real thing..... cool idea, to have a prop in the water, yet the boat, above the water! almost like a hydrofoil I suppose.

Hi!. metroidrc san :)
I have the experience of my making, driving the seaplane like the image before, and researching. Power is a Gros engine of 4cc displacement. The length of the wing was 1300mm. Touch and go that used this water flight was very happy. As for this WIG "Red dragonfly", I feel the very ..even if it does from this flight characteristic to what one the flight.. interesting one :D .
Please expect it in the future. Because a structural design is the future, it takes still long.
This concludes my report.

I have been enjoying the development of this wonderful happy design!
I wish to see more soon.

Interesting is a light in my red dragonfly professional project. :D ｡
It moves to a structural design of the airframe because the styling was completed now.
Because the strength calculation etc. are elaborately needed as for a structural design, it becomes a slow report. The body of the main is designed now ;) .
Abnormality

[y.takahashi]

We will inform of the latest situation of the akatonbo project :) .
The modeling of the wing is done now. Red dragonfly's wing is a tandem type by two pieces before and after. Because the area of a front wing is a little small, it is thought that it has the flight characteristic of the canard type ;) .
Han that combines the float has arrived at the aerofoil tip. This is an effective method though lowers the induced drag of the wing with a short aspect ratio like a red dragonfly, and increases the lift.
The carbon pipe is scheduled to be used for the wing collaboration though it is an orthodox rib method. Because the unstable direction that came from the effect of the side of the body and the aerodynamic characteristic of the tandem type main wing was predictable, the fin and rudder greatly set the area from the thing.

[y.takahashi]

It is the latest situation of the red dragonfly project. The installing simulation of the RC
mechanism is done now :) .
The battery with a lot of weights etc. mechanically do the layout simulation considering the weight
balance :D .

When this simulation ends, it is ..airframe manufacturing.. ..
entering.. more and more.
This concludes my report.

Thank you for commenting to my red dragonfly. The design also approaches in the last stage, and it is scheduled to actually begin the production of the airframe after a while now. It reports of course continuously on this site and expect it, please.
3DCG software that I am using is software for the industrial design "Rinoceros". A lot of designers are mainly comparatively used with cheap software in 3DCAD.
There are especially results being used by the designer related to shipbuilding.

Hi!. metroidrc san
Let's think making it to the selling point when the type of this
model succeeds in the flight. :D ｡

[y.takahashi]

Japan is the early one and March. Because it was cold up to now, the production start was not able to be done easily :o .
Because it has finally become warm, the production of a red dragonfly is restarted ;) .
Two dimension of the frame in the body drawing was done. The frame is cut out by this :) .
This concludes my report.

[metroidrc]

looking forward to the new updates! :D

Hi! :) .
Next, the shroud on both sides in the body was expressed to two dimensions. This line chart is copying output, and the Airlines plywood and the balsa wood are cut out and assembled now.
It ..work.. is scheduled to hang one at the end of this week

[y.takahashi]

Next, :)
the board outside the upper part of the hull and the skin of the bottom of a ship :D
It making to the dimension two, and the preparation for cutting out of the board that formed the hull ended. This is made a template, the balsa and plywood are cut out, and the hull is constructed. ;)
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi All. :)
The production of a red dragonfly began finally. First of all, the building slip was made.
The position of a plane frame is decided. And, each frame is printed out, it pastes to plywood, and it clips. One NO. frame was cut as kicking off that had to be commemorated today :D .
This concludes my report.

[lightthings]

y.takahashi san,
It is good to see your imagination finally take a more than two dimensional form.

One thing I have wondered from the very beginning:
How will left/right steering be made possible?

If the entire craft rises up and out of contact with the water how will it steer?

I do understand that the 'foot' or bottom section of the outboard engine will stay in the water providing propulsion while craft rises but I would think that steering ability would be lost without some point forward of the ship also having contact with the water. Even if it is only a turn fin.
To help illustrate what I mean look here:
http://www.rcboataholic.com/hardware/turnfin.htm and at the bottom of the page the section "Hydroplane turn problems" tells (in english) my point.

Hi!. lightthings san .:)

Thank you for my red dragonfly's being interested :D . ｡
Well, it is a very good though it is your question . Up to now, I have experienced a lot of designs, production, and the flights of the seaplane. It is efficiently best that conduct on the surface of the water still uses the power of water ;) .
Generally, the float that slides in the surface of the water comes to the surface on the surface of the water by using the step. The red dragonfly that I am producing also is setting up the step under the float. Therefore, it touches the surface of the water in this step in the state of a high-speed slide and it comes to the surface. To enter the state soaked under the surface of the water, [puroperaki-ru] of the outboard motor is designed to secure conduct at that time :) .
As a result, even the state of a high-speed slide :.
It is thought that conduct in the water is possible. However, does not this operate well except confirming it making a model?It is interest of the model:rolleyes:.
This concludes my report .

[lightthings]

y.takahashi san,
Your explanation is very good and should work well.

If you have problem making turns You may want to consider adding 'turn fins' to provide a better contact with the water.

I wish you well with these efforts and you seem to have everything in order.

Hi!. lightthings san :)

Thank you for your opinion. ｡
It is thought that essence has the characteristic of a high-speed boat and the characteristic of the seaplane in WIG. I have enjoyed the control of the seaplane for years. However, what flight characteristic does WIG have?､Or, it has the characteristic of a high-speed boat or the control experience doesn't exist. I want to prove it with this red dragonfly ;) .
Expect and exist in the future. ｡

[y.takahashi]

Nice to see your build starting!

OK!.herrmill san. :)
The production of this red dragonfly is accelerated and root for about you, please in the future :D .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. all.
Lately, the springlike weather continues. This is the peach near my home flower. It keeps producing a red dragonfly.
Because the ceremony of frame cutting of No.1 ended, the frame of No.2 is continuously cut out.
It finished cutting out all frames getting into the rhythm.
It is cutting out of the body shroud continuously.
The shroud in the body is cut out from the balsa wood of 5mm thickness. There is a big opening because a red dragonfly installs a propellent outboard motor in the center of the hull.
To keep strength in this opening, it makes it to 5mm thickness.
The copy paper printed out is made a gauge and it cuts it out here.
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. all.
It is assembly of the Fuselage more and more because it was able to prepare the frame. :D
Because the Fuselage shroud curves considerably between F1 frame forward and the F2 frame, 5mm thickness cannot bend this curve as it is by the balsa board material ;) . Therefore, the processing made easy to put the pause in the shroud in the Fuselage with the saw shallowly, and to bend was done :D .
The side evening as for the frame from F1 to F8.
It bonded to the board and the Fuselage frame was completed.
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All.
The keel was assembled today. :)
Similarly, with the float of the water machine
The keel is an important structural subassemblage. It is a strength member who undertakes hydraulic pressure until changing to a high-speed slide. It was bent with the hot water by using 5milli rectangular lumber of the balsa, a prescribed curve was made, and it bonded with the bonding material momentarily. The shape of the float has come gradually to the surface :D .
This concludes my report.

[metroidrc]

Very nice the quality of the build. :) Keep up the good work.

[y.takahashi]

Very nice the quality of the build. :) Keep up the good work.

Hi!. metroidrc san. :)
The following are bonding of the skin under the hull when the frame setting ends.
This also sequentially puts the balsa board of 2mm thickness. The shape of the float appears gradually :D .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi. All. :)
The skin -lined under the float hull was completed today. Gradually, I am glad for the ship geometry to come into view. :D
When it completes, and it Hydroplaning in the surface of the water
Because it is necessary to endure the dynamic pressure of water in this bottom, strength is necessary. This material composition and assembly are produced with the processing technology of the float of the RC seaplane made in old times ;) .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

The skin -lined on the hull was finished today :D . The following are advanced to the process of building an upper cabin.
An upper cabin will be produced with the plastic sponge of 1mm thickness.
The interior elevation of an upper cabin will be made by CAD beforehand ;) .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. All.
An upper cabin was produced today :D .
Red dragonfly's upper cabin does a classic style.
In a word, it is a composition where the window is open in the form of a plane type as well as the bus etc.
The material puts, and cuts out paper that copying outputs the board material of the plastic sponge. it was sticked together with the bonding material at the trice and it completed it. It somewhat took time to cut out the window frame in the state of monotony :) .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. All :)

The nose block was produced today.
The nose block bonded three blocks by using the balsa wood of 20mm thickness. And, only the wave in the nose cut down with the retractable knife while applying the gauge of paper according to shape :D .
This concludes my report.

[camoesas]

Just excellent !
Continue this very good job.

Hi!.Hello. camoesas san :)

Thank you for the comment. ｡
Is the radio controller active in your country (Portugal)?｡ Red dragonfly's vertical tail was produced today. It began to cut down, and it began ..wedge type.. to cut down the posterior border from the balsa of 5mm thickness the shape of the tail. :D It is good in a simple board because there is no tail of a red dragonfly ..the moving blade.. ..letting go.. The role in a steady direction high-speed sliding is done. It has been gradually becoming shape like the flying boat.
Abnormality

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All. :)

The production of the wing starts finally because the prospect of the production of the body adhered :D .
The wing is an important principal structure for WIG. First of all, it starts from cutting out the rib. The main wing raises the storage efficiency by the right and left separation type. Two ribs make it from the Airlines plywood of 2mm thickness. Two pieces on the outside are cut out from the balsa of 2mm thickness. It consists of 16 pieces :) .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All. :)
Lately, Japan becomes a long rest of spring of Golden Week. Because the expressway is continuous to go to where of long congestion, :o I decided to keep the house, and to be absorbed in the radio controller construction :D . Therefore, work is rapidly advanced to this red dragonfly project. It finally rushed into the assembly work of an important wing today. Ribs cut out yesterday were connected in SPAR and the forward edge was bonded to the posterior border. Because the camber is strongly designed to earn the lift in a low-speed region, red dragonfly's wing :. Assembly was assembled noting that the twist did not go out. The rib union of right and left four wing of the back and forth wing was completed :) .
This concludes my report.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All. :)
Work makes progress one after another.
The top and bottom of the wing Planck material was put.
The under put and a monotonous balsa of 1mm thickness was put on 2mm thickness. Thus, four wings were completed. Wanting :D a temporary set did temporary union to the body because it became it when completing it. It came to be able to see the entire appearance of a red dragonfly :) .
This concludes my report.

[metroidrc]

Wow, you are making great progress, I am amazed at your talent.
I do hope that it performs well. We hope to see videos! :D

It is scheduled to put the motor of GTX650 made of Graupner on Brushlessmotor to change, and to use it. :D

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All.
The wing end plate was produced today. :)
Because red dragonfly's wing end plate combined a right and left float, it cut it out from the balsa board of 6mm thickness.
Because an aerodynamic effect of the wing end plate converts the current of air that starts being got out from the bottom of the aerofoil tip to the upper surface into the savings pressure, it is an effect of the same lift increase as the extension of the wing. It is very effective in the lift improvement of the wing of the low-aspect ratio like a red dragonfly.
The construction of the main airframe structure of red dragonfly's airframe ended here. The following seem to be able to move to the process of painting and the film -lined. Because the construction of the airframe had made progress fast on this holiday, it was significant each other :D :D .

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.ALL
Japan painted a red dragonfly after a long time lately today because it was fine weather. Finally, it is [kuria-rakka-] painting of painting because it makes it to the film -lined even if it says for usual eye stop.
This concludes my report. :D :D

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All. :)
I　Because a red dragonfly had become fine weather today, the film -lpastes of the wing was begun.
Because a red dragonfly is painting of [i] the whole body red color
[Orakaba Film] made in Germany decided to be pasted. Because it is ..[Orakaba Film].. film of contractility, it is of ..preparation for the iron.. remaining heat. Because it is knowhow acquired by longtime radio controll airplane, the film -pastes is easy. :D
This concludes my report.

Is it a progress against now middle.
It is work that pastes the film to require patience. It continuously becomes tired a little about the iron work.
Installing of the mechanism, and it is to proceed and to the first flight and to want to live by me by summer if the film -lined ends.
Please root for in the future. :D

It is imagined a movable appearance when the model is completed, and will be desire to continue Build Log in the future. When it completes as I thought and it is achieved to move, it is very moving. A past model of me who has completed with this Build Log so far tells this.
This "Red dragonfly" must root for movement actually until showing it in the future.

I want also to complete early, and to see moving. However, it is in an old proverb of Japan. "It is loss from spoilage [zuru] in a hurry as for the [teha] thing. " :p
I carefully surely advance production aiming at completion with steady steps.
However, it is thought earliness when it comes here, and expect it soon, please. :D

[y.takahashi]

Hi! All. :)
Today
The film pasting of the body and a right and left canard and the main wing was completed :D .
Next, the hole that passed Wing spar to connect a right and left wing to the body was made. Wing spar prepared φ8mm and the carbon tube of 5mm. It was actually felt to approach completion as such though a right and left wing was assembled. It hung in finish the painting of an upper cabin. The upper part was painted with a red spray.
This concludes my report.

Hi!. All. :)
An upper cabin that was the final process of the hull externals finish was installed today. An upper cabin is made of the foam vinyl chloride. The transparent sheet was bonded internally, and it made it to the window shield :) .
And, it finally completes it. Immediately, the entire finish was checked by installing the wing in the back and forth. It is a whole balance where the balance that is not the fault was able to be taken easily appearance :D .
Because the exterior of the hull finished by this
It is scheduled to hang from next time finally in installing the power system and the radio controller device ;) .
Expect and exist in the future.

Hi!. metroidrc san. :)
Thank you for the comment.
Because my red dragonfly just sloughed off the dragonfly larva, it seems to take time to fly a little more ;) . It is necessary to obtain Graupner's outboard motor, and to remodel it to brushless motor still. Because my pond is a drainage work thing inside now :o , it is not possible to use it for it. It is heard that it constructs at the end of July according to the person related to construction. I want to take time for the preparation till then aiming at the first flight :D . Of course, the first flight is taken a picture by the movie and opened to the ＲＣgroups　public. ｡
Please wait till then.
This concludes my report.

Hi!. herrmill san.
Thank you for the comment :) .
Though externals were tentatively completed.
It will hang to installing mechanism in the future.
First of all, it is thought it is from remodeling the outboard motor.

[y.takahashi]

Hi!.All.
The outboard motor made by the Graupner company was obtained today :D .
It made in Brushless　Motor　for myself and it made it to the one of Motor　less.
Because the design of 3DCAD is accurate
It was confirmed to install on a prescribed installing position exactly :) .
Well, I want to obtain Brushless　Motor　that exactly applies to this ;) .
This concludes my report.

Graupner outboard machine was hung and the applied work was done today :) .
The installation position was decided while expecting the linkage etc. for an underwater position of the propeller and a right and left steering wheel.

Hi. All. :)
Construction equipped with Brushless Motor.
It constructed it because Brushless Motor installed in Graupner GTX650 reached today.
Brushless Motor is COSMOTEC CTC2830. The fan for the cooling is attached to CTC2830 by the motor for the RC helicopter :D . The louver of the motor cover of GTX650 was thought that this fan was effective in cooling, and selected because it was small :rolleyes: .
Because the mount for Speed600 was originally designed as for GTX650, an easy attachment to clip A base plate for myself for that clung to the reception desk mount of CTC2830 was made ;) .
The machine screw is tightened and, then, the mount completes it.
The appearance to do the mount considerably looks small Brushless Motor. The installation on the hull was finished today :D .
This concludes my report.

Hi!. hoverman Marijn san. :)
Thank you for your kind comment. ｡
The loading of the RC device is begun now.
However, an embarrassed problem is one. :o
The test pond that I am always using cannot be used in the drainage work thing now. Because the construction expected completion is the end of July, it is not possible to test till then :o . Wait for luck sleeping. :D ｡
This concludes my report.





My best regards in the future.

Hi!. All. :)
The servo for the steering wheel of the outboard motor was installed today. :)
Temporary was installed also in the battery and the speed controller because it was important as the entire barycentric position and the position where the servo was installed was decided. ;) A red dragonfly is a ship, and not a ship. It is necessary to set center of gravity to the step near the seaplane. :cool:
A usual regular size because there is no reliance in the micro servo because outboard motor GTX650 is considerably large.
It made it to the servo. Because it considerably became small than the horn of the outboard motor when it was a regular size, and the disagreement of the operating angle occurred in the servo horn, it put on the circular horn of the outsize and it substituted it. The linkage was assumed to be a ball link. :D

Hey,

Did you make any progress yet? I'm very interested in the flight results, I don't know if this model will completely unstick from the water(accept for the drive unit), till now I found that Tandem models do have..good stability, that's if they only stay that close to the surface that they slightly keep touching it.
Once they left the surface my tandems always wanted to flip, and I can't say that there is any real..stabilising form on the craft which should counteract this. This is also why I abondened the tandem concept, however you're never really done testing so I'm really looking forward to your results!

[QUOTE=hoverman]Hey,

Hi!.hoverman san. :) :)
Thank you for commenting to my red dragonfly.
A red dragonfly finished the final check of the power plant and transmission gear that tied to the battery the adjustment of the final RC device as of today.
The weather schedules the first flight if it is unquestionable tomorrow :D .
[Nanse] !､Lately, a hot day leads to Japan :o .

It prays for tomorrow's fine weather :p .
This concludes my report. :rolleyes:
PS:
Are you active like the radio controller ship etc. in the Netherlands?｡

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. All.All. :) :) :)
A red dragonfly was done today and first flight the launching, and test run were done.
The airframe of 1020g in whole weight did a deliberate test adjustment in the test pool at home of just the completion yesterday. There was not a flood part at all, and either degree went up in the surface of the water balance. Now and, it brought it in to the usual test pond.
The test is executed though there was a wind a little. I was surprised so that the hull might have advanced abruptly lightly only by raising Throttle a little first. Graupner outboard motor and I can say that I was good the match of selected [burasshuresumo-ta-]. The speed of smoothness goes up, too, when the throttle is raised and [natte] [hashi**] is done to the posture that seems to float at any moment.
It was confirmed for the hull to leave the surface of the water and to become a flight situation when it was maximum speed on the way.
Finish finished testing overall so-so.
Though it took a picture of the image with the helmet camera though it makes a mistake in the setting, and it is taken only with a small frame. Because everyone of the reader might be waiting for impatiently, it opens it to the public. What of it takes a picture with a big frame is opened to the public again again and endure it by this, please tonight tomorrow.

Hey,

That looks very good, looking forward to some in flight photo's or a video of the model making a full speed flyby!

here in the Netherlands i'm mostly building aircraft and helicopters, however I have been designing WIG's way before that, and i'm still designing new concepts. However, I don't seem to have a lot of time at the moment so new WIG projects have come to a hold..

Hi!. hoverman san.
Because it is fine also today, I will continue the test of a red dragonfly.
Because the pursuit taking a picture is done with the head camera, it will puts it on You-Tube.
By the way, if it is possible, could you show the image of the NEW WIG concept?

[y.takahashi]

Hi!. All :) and hoverman san.

It is the second flight of my RC red dragonfly. The weather hung on to an unexpected accident though it was good. It became a fast state, and it became a method that the throttle control did not anticipate in the slump with the situation that unfortunately the thrusting moving and was not able to be taken in duckweed though it slowly took and run was done first for the preparation :o . It takes time in the collection because 2M or more in depth was a certain pond finally, it was an unfortunate day though the collection success was done by buying the rubber dinghy :( :p .http://www.youtube.com/user/gasturvin?gl=JP&hl=ja

[metroidrc]

I would let it dry out and then try to cut it off with an exacto knife?

Hi!. metroidrc san.

Thank you for your idea.
I will refer.

Hi!.
Everybody. ｡ :)
"Red dragonfly" of WIG that I had produced participated in the 6th strait Ohashi model ship rally. The remainder by about 30 participated in the weather because of fine on that day. :D
The entrant learnt the feature of the WIG machine though my red dragonfly was not good at enough [hashi**] because the hall was narrow. :D
Is it "Airplane. " the first all? There were a lot of questions.
It was lovely. However, the charm of the style received from the woman, and was famous. ;)
