• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Heinkels emerge from the paint shop

The animation for the seat was a nightmare to work out. So many rods, levers and swivels. The complete rudder pedal unit with all its complexities must raise up and down also and of course, the column and yoke which is chain driven. Making it go up and down wasn't too bad but getting it all to stay level as it rises was another story...

I find it interesting that although virtually all the nose is glazed, there is so much stuff in there that one's forward vision is quite obscured. And if you have a busy nose gunner/bomb-aimer darting about in front of you it must have been even worse. I have an English RAF manual written on the Heinkel (for RAF pilot prison escapees in case they wanted to steal one to get home!) that reckons that the raised position might want to be used for most flying conditions, even at 200 mph. Obviously written by somebody with a lot of bi-plane experience! :engel016:
 
The definition of coming soon is exactly that. Coming - as in appearing or releasing, soon - as in shortly. If your idea of shortly is different to ours then that is something that you'll need to manage.
