Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Nice!  Is that a Jindi under the wing?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Looks good.  I like the 3 tone paint scheme.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Thanks all, its nice to be able to put it on the display case, it won't fit inside! :D

Yep, slightly modified with wingtip extensions, V tail, genie missile, MK82 500lb slick and targetting pod (well part of it anyway).

Awesome build! :bow: Love the Jindivik under the wing!

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Here is one more picture taken at our local comp at the end of May. Some minor tweaking had been done since the last shots I posted.



Steve, the owner of High Planes (the maker of the Jindivik kit) noticed it under the wing and gave it a good looking over wondering what I had done to his poor kit! :D
