Milton:

Found the airfoil data for the S2 Family. Should be interesting figuring out the contribution of the flying saucer....

Thank you; Please send the full size and I'll see how they turn out. Maybe I can smooth out some of the rough edges.

I just got back, I got some gear shots as well so you'll have lots to choose from I'm just waiting for them to upload to my flickr account. I'll post the link when they are done. Here are some examples.

Ok finally uploaded! http://www.flickr.com/photos/24592073@N06/sets/72157627519658396/

Bad Flickr! If you need any full sized just tell me which ones as flickr seems to not want to keep my original sizes

These two pictures are excellent! I can use them.

Check my link, there might be some others that are closer to centered, i just picked the first two off my camera. I think this one is the closest to square on:

Excellent! Some great detailed photos. I can use all of them for either reference or textures to some extent. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks to you and Tankerguy for your extra efforts.

Hi Milton,

Looking very great already, stunned by the work you do in such a short time frame!

Love to take here for a spin to land on "mine" Karel Doorman carrier.

That is very sharp Milton, very sharp indeed.

[Milton Shupe]

Thanks guys.

Had to do some adjustments to the "roof" adjusting the height (about 8") and changing face and profile a bit to better match reality. Also added the wing support braces.

Okay, back to finish up the gear components. :mixedsmi:

That's coming along nice! Beautiful even! Love that plane! Here's some pics I took a few years ago from the island of the USS Enterprise (CVN-65). Of course this is a C-1, but it's close!

 

[TARPSBird]

Milton, that is absolutely beautiful. You've really nailed the flapjack radome.
