• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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 politician 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 among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hey Stiz.... look what I started today

Interesting bit of history over invention of the aileron. It's now attributed to a man named Boulton who patented the idea in the latter 1800's, Before the invention of the airplane.

It was the fight over the control surfaces of the first aircraft that led the Wright's to sue anyone in the immediate area. Well, that and they were a bit whacko.....

This will be an interesting model to see. Good work!
