In reply top WIX Whirlwind, where do we start.............? posted by Cees on Mon Apr 29, 2002 04:38:31 AM

Hi all

You need to find someone who will take control and run the project - I think this is the most important part. Without a committed driving force nothing will happen. Who wants to take responsibility? Any nonimations?

: Ok boys and girls,
:
: We all want to build a static reproduction/replica (no top
: ics please) full scale Whirlwind. It is nice to talk about
: it etc. But you have to start somewhere to get things mov
: ing.
:
: Shall we start by making some sort of planning and delegat
: e some of the tasks needed to do this right?
:
: Several of us have already volunteered with knowledge, han
: ds on experience etc.
:
: IMHO we need the following:
:
: 1. Definitive proof that any drawings still exist. If not
:
: then selecting the best of scale drawings available.
: 2. The copy of the AP on the Whirlwind as recently
: offered.
: 3. Space to be able to build this baby and store anything
:
: related to this project (Phil?)
: 4. Start looking for any substantial remains (engines,
: landinggear, windshield etc,) which could give this
: project some body. Or contact groups/individuals who
: have excavated Whirlwinds in the past.
: 5. Gathering all sorts of equipment needed to fit it out.
: 6. Dare I say, approaching organisations like RAFM to see
:
: if there are possibilities in cooperation and eventual
:
: display of the end result (what better place than RAFM)
:
:
: Of cours this is only my opinion, what's yours?
:
: Let me know and let's get things moving.
