BTW, didn't you used to have an F-15 sim? ;) I saw the WIP subject 
line and got hopeful. lol

Brian:

Gene bought me the plans for the sidewinder project last summer, I still haven't completed it as of yet. The wood shop 
is my priority project, we are running out of room again. I really don't wish to get into the reasons for the additional
shop building lets just say we need it. 

When Gene completes his adventure into cockpit construction we will again work on the F-15. Gene tells me that we are 
still in need of five panels which we will need to build. After we have the panels built we will begin a long and 
torturous path of wire harness construction. 

The sidewinder lamp when completed will be a very inaccurate model of a sidewinder. It is approximately 2/3's
scale making it an attractive lamp, Gene's wife caught me making it, she remarked about how she said, "no rockets". A bit of luck 
in explaining as to how it is only a lamp worked oddly enough. I am planning on building a second lamp making some corrections to
the plans for the second making it a bit more accurate. the 2/3rds scale will still work, rollerons are needed and a sweep to the
forward steering fins. My brother would laugh his ass off that we even think it looks like a sidewinder.
He was a F-16 weapons specialist, now retired MSgt.

keep 'em flying
