    Riddle me this batman

    Riddle me this batman

    The plane would in fact take off as normal. the wheelas have no (minimal) effect on take off. The thrust is imparted to the air and not the ground. As an earlier poster stated, the wheels would just turn twice as fast. Imagine you have your roller blades on and are on the conveyor. You are...

    Riddle me this batman

    I almost agree with Sapper. Since the thrust created is directed to the air and not the ground, the plane will accelerate at the same rate as if it were on a non moveable surface. If you were talking about a car that imputs its power through the wheels to the ground, then I would agree that...

    Seal Ink

    Is it just my seal or does everyone have trouble with the ink not drying on velum? I stamped my first set of plans yesterday and after over 4 hours the ink was still wet. What gives??? Do you guys know of any alternatives to using velum? We need our master plans to last for a very long time.

    What did you do right? April 2006
