It was the coming down that seems to have been the problem. Martian 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Amidst all the wibble and insanity there is some very clever modelling going on. Best slow down a bit we are only on page and still no mention of a vegetable that has grown into a rude and amusing shape. I feel sure the magic of 3d printing can produce such a thing...

It shan't happen again, old Martian fellow, at least until it does! I think the door to the loo is a good idea; it keeps the odour in its place. I'm speaking of course of keeping the pungent smell* of the other passengers from bothering the poor soul in the WC.

general melchett Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Quote Toilet seems a bit much modern, I not sure it's the correct version! I think you could be right Alain, a replacement and more appropriate Georgian Khazi is being printed as I type these words....along with some candelabras, a bearskin rug, some picture frames and a piano stool. Quote If Baldrick is involved, it will probably be a thingy shaped turnip. He is and it will be....enough said. If this aerial charabanc was close to the weight limit during its maiden voyage without passengers then I fear we could be pushing things slightly with all this extra paraphernalia we/I keep adding.....maybe another La Rhone at the back? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) But surely, old spleen, there's still enough room for at least a small tap dispensing bitters to the passengers. With all this 'paraphernalia', as you say, I don't know where they're going to sit, but with enough bitters in them they can just sort of lay where they pass out. I say but this aerial velocipede is turning into just the sort or aeronautical conveyance I'd love to fly in! With all the pleasures of home.

europapete Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) You could mount the extra LeRhone vertically, with a larger prop. Might help get this off the ground. Jason, you could store the beer barrels in the back of the piano, might save a bit of space, and have the pumps mounted on the top lid.

europapete Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Or, with regards to the engine, remove the LeRhone and fit a Oberursel U111 instead. Or for even more power, a Bentley BR2. Edited January 22 by europapete 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I’d say, attach a large hot air balloon for much needed lifting power. Or even better, hang it under a zeppelin (our beloved Martian has vast and recent experience with those). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, our distinguished Alien will be tempted to create a Zeppelin Nacelle (Scratchbuild one of course) Scale is up to you Martian !!

Sadly, 4K tellies and Apple iPhones hadn't made an appearance yet and neither had electric power showers......but at least you could listen to the latest ditties on the latest horn gramophone.

I didn't mean the engine in my Haunebu! Put it back at once or preferably even sooner. Sadly Schauberger's Repulsine vortex engine was still a way off but had it been available it would have made quite a difference to the flight characteristics of the Air Sedan...ie, it would have instantly rearranged the molecular structure of the beast and happily converted it into it's basic atomic components...along with any hapless occupants. No, no, we need something altogether less intrusive and down to earth, how about this... Quote Brain is about to boil up.... Come on Martian, I'm ready to help with some great ideas....

Pete in Lincs Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I was going to say, that if this thing gets hung under a Zellapin (What is a Zellapin, My Captain?) you'd have to move to the Sci fi section. Then you could enter it as a drop ship. That's probably about the only aeronautical result you could hope for, given the weight v wing loading on it. On the bright side, the passengers might even manage half a chorus of Come all ye faithful before impact. (Look, Ma, no toilet humour!) Pete, flushed with success. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) You could issue the passangers automatic parachutes. You know, the type that open on impact. ( I believe Wiley Cayote buys them from Acme) Edited January 23 by europapete 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
