Today Romanski invited me to come back to VP. I agreed. Nice to see many known buiders and also a lot of new names.
Here some pictures of my project so far...

I find it really annoying that a newbie shows up and shows us a rig like that :brickwall:

No seriously, glad to hear from you again.  :Thumbs Up:

But please do something about that graffiti on the nose cone :reading:

Hi JJ,

Good to see you back on Viperpits.

Flyingfalcon has had its ups and downs. Had a lot of bad luck.
Not sure if you will keep it up. Had a nice small community at some point. And a shit load of information about building your own cockpit the correct size.
We had some fun getting that all together.
One way or the other. It sure had its own identity and you where the one behind the wheels. Effortless with high spirit.

Anyway, this forum has one of its hot shots back ;)

Just a shame they couldn't resurrect you old account.

Biggles.

Welcome back @JJ   :thumbsup:

I always found it a pity that FlyingFalcon went down, because of stupid hackers  :weep:
I still have fond memories of the "Twente meetings" with lots of great guys, not to forget @Sandman and @Willy all the way from the States!

Very nice to see so many "old" names and yes, there will be a new pitmeeting in Enschede. During the new pitmeeting there will be my good friend "Dopey"and he brings a formal F16 pilot who is now flying F35 with him. The subject of the meeting will be "Old and new, whats the difference"
