These pictures will give you an idea of how the code was done. I started as you see with a fair amount of code over the orange. I then sprayed a very light coat of black and then added some more code. I sprayed another very light coat of black and added some more code. Then I blackened the whole area with the final coat of black paint. When all those little pieces are picked out (which takes longer than anything else, and you never get them all on the first try) it reveals different levels of code. Some are very faint and look like they are deep in the background and some are very bold. There are so many ideas that i had in my head that never made it to the plane. I was going to cover the bottom with the hover pads like the ships on the movie and then have blue lightning bolts all over the bottom. It just never happened...

Derek

That is very cool, working backwards so to speak. The first code you put down actually comes out as the brightest and looks to be sitting right on top of all the other code.

Very cool process! Very Innovative!

On a serious note, this is without doubt, one of the absolute greatest paint jobs on a control line stunt ship I have ever seen.

Amazing.

Perhaps TOO nice.. to fly. You can't risk it. You might damage the thing..

It is an awesome and unique paint scheme.

Time to start on the eMatrix Derek.

Your head is positively, certifyably, CRAZY like scrambled eggs! Incredibly detailed, super cockpit. and the pilot can see out of it too!

I think that it should be a 25 pointer on the 20 scale. Now go out and win the Nats with it!

PJ Rowland · « **Reply #64 on:** April 13, 2012, 06:49:16 PM »

There are hundred's of Maxtrix quotes I like.. one of the more interesting ones I like :

" Welcome to the desert of the real.. "

When Morpheus explains what the Matrix is to Neo, he uses the phrase, "Welcome to the desert of the real." This is a paraphrase from Chapter One of Jean Baudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation," the book where Neo stashes his illegal discs. In Chapter One - The Precession of Simulacra, page one, paragraph 2, the section reads "It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges persist here and there in the deserts that are no longer those of the Empire, but ours. The desert of the real itself."

I seem to remember that the "green waterfall" screen saver was actually a hex dump of the Apple II ROM or such.. (or was that the Terminator?) Any problems with compatibility with "other" CL Stunt ships?? Eg, do you sometimes see little non-ASCII characters thrown in to perfectly innocent "text", or similiar Mac artifacts? ;->

I just hope Neo is a decent stunt pilot. (Cookie crashed my favorite Shogun.)

Larry, The actual movie code used for the Matrix was created specifically for it, using mirrored Japanese chars' , latin and numerials.

Your correct in that all the shots through the Terminator's vision in the original 1984 movie shows a dump of the ROM assembler code for the Apple II operation system. There is a way to access it, but I can not recall ..

Paul has : Dont think you are know you are ..

Paul also has ;

Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Derek,

When your plane is on the flight line, will it “take over the other planes form”? How will the judges know which plane is which?

Will the score you get “be for you and you only”? And, not to shared with anyone else. How will we know if you won?

I didn’t want to mention this but, what’s to prevent you from “uploading” a combined Walker, Fitzgerald, Hernandez, Buck program. Not fair to the other competitors!

When they are pull-testing your plane, are you going to tell them that “you knew they were going to that” but you chose to allow it anyway?

I sincerely hope that you are not going to tell the other flyers that, “appearance judging gives us purpose”.

Last but not least, please, please do not go up to Dave Fitzgerald and tell him that second place is inevitable-why do you resist!!

While I am extremely impressed with Derek's ship. I am VERY concerned about his actual Nats experience. I was just imagining some of the things that could happen to him such as:

Bill Rich doesn’t seem trust him, Derek went up to him and said “here, let me have a good look at you-my, how you’ve changed”!

The guy Derek pounded into sixth place and who lost a chance at the Walker Cup flyoffs, He went up to him and said “here, have a cookie, and you’ll be right as rain”. “You’ll roll up your lines, remove the excess fuel from you tank, and when your done, you won’t remember anything us this ever happened”.

Derek is in big trouble. The other 4 Walker Cup flyers are ganging up on him. What did he do? I don’t know, he yelled out something to the effect of “ the superior pullouts, the hyper accurate intersections-SURELY YOU MOST KNOW!!
