Will it ever work, Leo? Will Donaldo, the worlds hottest artist of the airbrush and handle, give up the siren song of the RTF kite and resume the dance of the handcrafted, powered air-sheen?
Chris...
Thanks for the kind words Chris...
Actually I can still use the airbrush..but the use of a scaple to control the precise outlines on the thin mylar and frisket maskings...is quite another difficult,fustrating task.
I am left with such little feeling in my right hand, it seems virtually impossible for me to control just how much pressure that is needed so that damned scaple handle in order to control the depth of the cuts. I find myself using my LEFT PAW...more and more every day.
OOOPS! GANG!!!STAY WITH ME! THE STARBUCKS JAVA is just now reaching my left lobe!
FOR EXAMPLE!!!!Give this some thought? I should take up a new style of scribbling. Called "Impressionistic Loonietoonizzum", then start building stunt models in a new VINTAGE CLASSICAL SPECIAL OLYMPICAL STUNT EVENT designed especially for lame old stunt grunts who have lost most of their stunt-facilities.... Perhaps we could name this new event for lameolddo's---
"IMPRESSIONISUMZISSUM-NERDOCLASSICAL GIMPSTUNT"
This event rules would DICTATE that the models will be judged on NOT just how beautiful they look and fly...but JUDGED IN HOW UGLY AND POORLY THEY FLY.
The winner who can perform the SLOPPIEST, BUGGLIEST' PATTERN and then and only THEN..that gimpo modeler will be awarded those coveted extra PATTERN POINTS by dead sticking their buggliest model up to the top overhead center of the circle..
until that model loses all forward momentum.
Then and ONLY THEN the pilot will be given pattern points if their model either floats down into the hands of the flyer.
Last of all: ( GADS, I hope so) for even the more handicapped of competitors can be given another choice for landing points .
That poorly deprave-deprived pilot can earn those golden bogus bonus points by simply after performing their buggly pattern...
power that model up and over the top of the circle...perform a FULL SCREAMIN ENGINE POWERED DIVE....NOSE FIRST...STRAIGHT INTO TAPED OFF BIG RED X TARGET that is laid out on the tarmac.
The judging staff will count either the number of crashed model parts...OR simply tape measure off the distance of the models impact zone.... OR to the model part that lands the farest' away from that impact zone will also gain ANOTHER EXTRA 2 POINTS.
My dearly adopted son Chris: See just how far my demented mind has taken hold of me this morning?
