Nope, last I heard gearbox was going back with motors for some testing.. Flybike isnt going to let bog floyd sit on the ground and rot away..

Everything is in the mail. It's been a good day for Big Floyd.

I thought they were belts, not gears! Wasn't that the whole problem?

Hans,
I figured we hear something while you are on Holiday break? Put a set of skis on that huge pink airplane and go fly it!

Thanks,
Glenn

Finals get done next Wednesday the 21st. I'll be home for a couple weeks, but I think getting the required number of people out at the field to put the thing together when it is cold and snowing would be hard. Bolting pull-pull cables and stuff with gloves on would be tricky. We'll wait for spring.

That's a bit close to Christmas to be having finals isn't it?

Can't wait til the maiden!

LittleJon · Dec 16, 2005, 09:39 PM

Hogster, in the US they seem to have 'finals' every 5 mins! I don't quite get it. They're not like the finals at the end of your degree in the UK.

Hogster · Dec 16, 2005, 09:46 PM

Heh! What exactly are finals anyway? I have exams at the end of each term/semester which test us on the modules we've studied in the previous 10 or so weeks .... Are exams 'finals'?
