Once again MarPar, you are truly "mistaken"
For you see my friend, you were actually on the dreaded "Triple Secret Probation"
But: even you did not know that! See Note: Article 135-005.021, Clause 77B

And, you survived!

You are truly the "Paradigm"


*Note: Article 135-005.021, Clause 77B
"Any member(s) placed on Double Secret Probation may be subjected, with out further notice, to Triple Secret Probation, if deemed necessary by two (2) or more MODS AND Fearless Leader's (Joeychgo) approval IF and ONLY IF said perpetrator(s) has/have, with conciseness, fulfilled all specific criteria in a 4 month period to necessitate the said punishment.
Furthermore, Claus 77B specifically states: Said member will be placed on Triple Secret Probation for an undetermined time frame not to exceed 1 year AND individual (s) will not be informed of the action (Read) "Triple Secret Probation" until all obligatory punishment(s) are met.
Final removal will be determined by Fearless Leader.
Removal Data will be Classified and held in strict accordance with AFI 3-22, AFM 33-203 and AFM 100A for a period of no less than 5 years.

While it's great to see you here Bladecutter, what happened to all your old posts? Up to a couple days ago I could find them and now they're gone; the aircraft threads like 'Behemoth Birds', your stuff on the 305 c.i.d. Daytona, the Mangusta, and especially the 'Filler Secrets' thread will all the info on custom made body filler material. That was useful info but I can't find it here any more. Was wiping your past history part of the deal?

ah! I see. I stand corrected then.

So I have two firsts then...first on double secret and first (and only so far) on triple secret probation.

well, only one thing to do then...reinstate my "black sheep" moniker!

 

[super-bee_ski]

The years have passed, the classified data has been released.
"We" (The forum) found out a month ago of the perilous situation you were in!

Again MarPar, another First!

 

[MarPar]

I have submitted a FOIA request for any and all pertinent information regarding this matter

 

[super-bee_ski]

Funny thing!
I just finished (last week) my CBT (computer Based training) *Security Information (Formerly Information Protection) Course No. ZZ1330878
(For Real)
Anyway, I think you have 60 days to file your FOIA
And: It ALL has to be delivered to you.
Only exceptions: Foreign Nationals are exempt.
Again, For Real!
Yup, I have to do this crap annualy!
YUCK!

But: Too funny MarPar!

Many Thanks to Wolfgang in Germany!!!

[Photon440]

I've looked through the ponysite that you linked, and couldn't find the article with you in it, or any article at all about the goose except for one mentioning cobra suspension. There`s no search function on that website and I was hoping to read it... Is there a more direct link?

Hey Photon. No the link is just for their club, but it will be on there when article is published in roughly six weeks, plus it will be hard copy in Club Magazine, which charters 700 peeps. The 'zine i believe circulates in Getmany, maybe beyond too.The mag will be in German, like the formats above....but should be in English on the site....i think. I'll find out from Wolfgang.
Thanks for looking. jimi
Wolf is going to send me some copies of the 'zine. He came from nowhere, asking if He could include me in His upcoming article about Mangustas......like i had to think about that for long

 

[Bladecutter]

Lot of pix disappeared

 

[Bladecutter]

This is the first i've posted sectional shots of this piece. Not sharp pix, but will give an idea of the carved in, sharpened leading and trailing edge definition, the 18 degrees of added l twist in blade, the movement, the louvers, the base. Blade is sister to two others from Hartzell Scimitar propeller. They were belly in s....a gear up landing, back in 90's. A really sharp overhauler annealed(to soften), straightened, re tempered the blades.
They never got used.....too much of the tips were ate up for the Application in General Aviation, could have only used in Experimental. This blade is approx 5" shorter. Also FYI,, 5" happens to be the rule of what a blade can lose in flight without going defcon.....any thing more......shakes engine away from aircraft....in the case of a twin with clockwise rotation....right side is going to launch right into the fuselage, compounding the agony of becoming a leaf blowing in the wind, a kite without a lead......it DOES happen. Southern California Propeller Service, T&W prop shop are two outfits shut down by FAA for too many blade failures.....both shops popped for improper annealing. SCPS in late 90's & T & W in early millenium.
This Ensemble was a 235 hour project....Hartzell Scimitar blade in a McCauley to bladed hub with modded retainining nut, with the Hartzell piston cap..mounted atop an aluminum air cleaner cover on glass round, atop the stub of a Hamilton Standard AT-6/SNJ blade.

I am truly impressed with your art. Your finished items have the simple clean look like they are a natural part of nature.
My projects always need "finishing"----I can never get that last part down like you do. (I try). My projects will always be almost done because of that.
