For reference, there's one that's always here called the Gallant Lady of Dover, Delaware (the yacht, not her sportfishing boat). She's beautiful. I was told it looks just like that but smaller, of course. http://www.superyachts.com/luxury-yacht-for-sale/gallant-lady-1107/Always be kinder than you feel.

Calvin19 0 #305 August 29, 2014 PhillboI prefer something more along these lines :) Perini Navi. Good god those boats are amazing. I was never a fan of the Ketch, I prefer a single tall mast. Maybe with a cutter. I still own a 1/3 share in this old girl, the 40' cutter rigged sloop "Argonauta". (first picture). Many good weeks at sea, not being able to see the land is something I miss. I haven't seen her in years, she is being taken care of by a Mexican family in Cabo. Good deal for them. Second picture is a Perini Navi in Santa Barbara, CA. The owners gave us a tour and even let us ride the mast lift. 170' length and 188' main mast if I remember right. Retractable keels. So cool. -SPACE- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep getting the "let me take you to the Marquesas for the weekend" offers but I fear becoming shark bait. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calvin19 0 #310 August 30, 2014 ryoder*** Playing with new toy. 7' wingspan. Gas, or electric? I flew gas RC since I was about 10 years old. Last nitro flight I did was probably around 8 years ago. Now all I have are RTF or BNF helicopters and planes. And thank god. Nitro fuel is terrible, smelly, sticky, and loud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And thank god. Nitro fuel is terrible, smelly, sticky, and loud. No argument there. When I was a little kid, my old man had control-line models, and I was always drafted to hold the screaming, stinking things while he got the control-lines stretched out and ready to fly."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

JohnMitchell 16 #313 August 30, 2014 ryoder When I was a little kid, my old man had control-line models, and I was always drafted to hold the screaming, stinking things while he got the control-lines stretched out and ready to fly. My dad and I, and later my son and I, flew some line control. All the screwing around with glow plugs and batteries, fueling and priming, and then the flip-flip-flip to start those darn things. . . Still pretty good memories, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad and his boss had one and I was brought out to help them fly it. I think I was 6. I'm glad I had an unhealthy obsession with flying stuff and went straight to RC. One cool thing I did discover through that weird CL model was the awesome .049 engine. That thing is sweet. I had some free-flight fun with those when I had a surplus of crashed model parts and glue. That engine is easy to start and survives crashes VERY well. -SPACE- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 8 #324 September 8, 2014 Got to play in an A320 full motion sim at JetBlue. Got a couple instrument approaches (non coupled of course) in too as well as my high altitude endorsement and a good full day of systems class. Can't imagine the pace the guys getting typed to fly for them have to maintain but at least our instructor was fun."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
