It is reputed that Lego killed their Osprey set not because of the war protestors complaining that they were making a military themed set, but actually because there was a design defect that resulted in ground-up gears.
I guess Lego really captured the essence of the original.

Remove the wings, and lift it out in three lifts. The hardest part will be dealing with the fuel.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Remove the wings, and lift it out in three lifts. The hardest part will be dealing with the fuel. The Norwegians want as little as possible additional damage done to their nature preserve and is why they do not want it fixed where it sets. All the work and equipment needed to remove the wings would be more than just fixing the gearbox. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m watching Opsreys and CH53’s fly over me regularly right now. Beautiful aircraft. I did overhear an Osprey pilot mention many were down for maintenance. You must be in the mountains. They fly over my cabin all the time. Like almost right over. Like 50' in the air. They scare the shit out of me tbh. Cool planes through. Not sure where the AFB is located, but I'm guessing close. |
