Cool! Yeah, I got it here OK. Looks PERFECT! I was thinking of the bee as a bit pudgy-ier - like me - but he's fine like he is. I had forgotten that the German buzz bombs were sort of plane-like, and that's way cool.
The V-1 (Versuchsmuster - experimental) was designed with a fuselage constructed mainly of welded sheet steel and wings built of plywood. The low static thrust of the Argus Schmidt pulse jet and very high stall speed of the small wings meant that the craft could not take off under its own power and thus required a catapult launch. Takeoff speed was commonly attained by launching from a ground ramp, using a chemical or steam catapult which accelerated the V-1 to 200 mph.
What a great vehicle to name your LSR car after, not to mention a quick way to get into the ECTA 200 MPH Club, huh Dan ?
;D
Does this mean I have to add plywood wings? The fuselage is made of sheet steel (most of which is still there) and I can add the Argus Schmidt, but then they won't let me run it - no reaction engines at Maxton. But the catapult would be a good thing, if I can get Joe to move the lights to just after the start line. I'm guessing the Camaro would begin slowing down as soon as it left the catapult, and I'd cross the line as slow as ever. Should I letter "nicht anfassen? As in, "You can't touch this"!
