Lovely Tallboy target ---

Thanks SP, DWG, yes I think that was part of it. My comment was why not move the wing forward (my thinking the idea being the tail plane gets moved further away from the CofG but then my thinking was that the CofG gets moved forward too), but then someone said it should go backwards not forwards.

Thanks SP. The comment was something along the lines that the further away the tail plane was, the easier it was to control pitch sensitivity. It just seemed to me that the 9 and 10 covered that ---

Where I live in a rural area in Alberta, I'm about 150 km from the center of Calgary in one direction, and about 100 km from the center of Red Deer in the other direction. The 'domes of light' emitting from both these cities, light up the night skies enormously. I wouldn't have thought there was...

Well further up the thread it was said that stretching the fuselage would have made the MAX 8's problem much less, even no problem at all (unless I misunderstood what was written). The MAX 9 and 10, being already stretched, seems to me to solve the problem.

So is the MAX 9 and MAX 10 the answer for the MAX 8. Drop the MAX 8 entirely and replace with the other two.

I had read that the AoA vane had been hit on one aircraft, but was that the case on both of them ?

Thanks DWG & steelpillow for the clarification -- Another question, I used to work at Calgary International which is now almost totally surrounded by the city, and the airport was getting a lot of complaints from surrounding neighbourhoods about the noise. To counter that, the airport...

Not being an aero engineer, wouldn't moving the wing forward a couple of frames also work ?

The story I read it was something to do with the licensing cost Rolls Royce wanted for the Merlin production post-war that killed the Merlin powered Mustangs.

It looks like a 2-seat version of the P-51H

Not sure if this has been posted before, USMC F-35B on the HMS Queen Elizabeth, I think this is quite recent. Not sure who to credit though ---

The size of the lugs would suggest the thing is quite heavy too ---

Or maybe there's another version that's going to be released by hobby boss and it will use the same sprues that are in this box --- ;)

Thanks for the explanation guys --

What's the bigger outlet just above the Sparrow for ?

It looks super sleek, but it's got two huge lugs poking out the top ---

What I read was a plug would have been inserted in front and behind the wing, to maintain the cg.

I've read somewhere, that the Victor could have had the fuselage stretched too, as the wing spars were both in front of the bomb bay, whereas the Vulcan was hamstrung by having a spar at each end of the bay.

Cripes! it keeps getting worse for Boeing. https://a.msn.com/r/2/AAHZlMZ?m=en-ca&referrerID=InAppShare
