I still say that an upscale Orbital Transport should be at the top of the list....no HARD to produce "oddball-molding required" parts shapes for this one at all !
Just good old fashioned balsa cones, fins, and heavy-duty cardboard tubes.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

Tsk, tsk. Isn't it sad when a brilliant mind snaps under the pressure?

It's OK, JP --- we all admire your fabulous and original designs --- so we'll forgive your momentary lapse into (obvious) hysteria.

Be careful, though...any more anti-Interceptor slips will cause those saner members here to send in the guys with the white jackets and butterfly nets!

Seriously for a sec...I'll agree that I've seen my share of up-scale Interceptors, but what Hawks is offering is a potential KIT, and many of us are somewhat challenged in the realm of "sure, I can scrounge all the parts together and whip up a clone...and an UPSCALE clone, at that!". As one of the most popular designs ever to come out of Penrose, I would love to see someone (Hawks, Q-Modeling, etc.) make available a KIT of the classic K-50.

Of course, I'm also drooling over the possibility of a scaled up OT...and X-20...and SST Shuttle...and original Centuri Shuttle...and Andromeda...I LOVED building the original birds as a child, and again as a young adult...and I'm thinking building BIGGER versions as an older adult...hey, even more fun!

I've got to pickup one of Hawk's kits (either a Trident or a Snooper) and see what kind of quality they've got in 'em. I'm kinda spoiled by Q-Modeling...they make some sweet kits. Anything to bring more vendors into the hobby, I'm all for!

I've seen Hawk's kits and the only term I can come up with to describe them is beautiful. They are first rate the whole way! Now if I only had extra money....

Yeah, what Bill said.

Actually, my wife's best friend and one of my sisters-in-law are from Virginia. That's how I know all about referring to ladies as "Miss," no matter what their age. (My sister-in-law's mom, "Miss Beth," had great-grandchildren, and we still called her that.)


(Humongus grin) "Yeah, baby."

The Tripoli Idaho chapter over in Boise: http://www.tripoliidaho.org/index.p...&id=79&Itemid=1 calls their annual May launch "SpudRoc,"

http://www.tripoliidaho.org/gallery...6-7_SpudRoc-11/ ...which just tickles my farm boy funnybone to no end.


*WHAT?!?* --Oh. From the Wolverine. Now I get it. (Maybe.)


Which means you should fit in here at YORF quite nicely.


Thanks again, and cheers,

--Jay

No more slips Dean, and I will agree that the Satellite Interceptor is Very cool, so lets put that on the list too.

PS. Jay, you potato head, above is the proper was for a NAR member to post his signature. Anything else is just uncivilized. And stop spanking things or you are going to hurt yourself.

.

(Jack Nicholson "crazy" voice) "Well! Are you *happy* now, JP?" (wild-eyed look)


(mock misunderstanding) "--And this is out of character for me... *how?*"


(Old fogey voice) "Young man... when *I* was a boy, my dad whipped me with a rubber milking hose! And I'm still in therapy over it all these years later! C'mere, Junior! I'll show *you* a spankin'!"


(That would probably be a lot funnier if half of it wasn't true. --The bit about therapy isn't.)



Cheers,

You know, there are times of absolute genius expressed by those in this forum. James has just presented us with such a moment.

To celebrate Jay's entrance into the august ranks of the NAR, and to credit James' moment of brilliance, I hereby motion that Jay remove his tired moniker of "CenturiGuy", and accept, officially, the handle of "Mr. Potato Head".

Any seconds?

(P.S. Jay --- seriously! --- welcome to the NAR)
