I still can't quit laughing. I've managed to knock joes sign over a couple times but still can't get that skid hooked. There must be 2G worth of T-rex parts scattered around out there on that desert. Quite challenging to say the least. Wouldn't it be cool to have a little KE gnome with a little(or maybe a big) loop on his hat. We could play hide and seek in multiplayer! Or have five guys line up and see who could snatch him up first! Think what a hoot that would be

Well...I don't think the sign can be picked up. It's almost like KE thought of this day and designed against it. I shrunk the sign down to 15% and used the Bell heli because of the skid design. If you get a skid inside the fold of the sign it becomes reactive and will sometimes shoot out of sight. If you get lucky and think you can pick it, the skid just passes through the sign. It's almost like the collision mesh is only on the outside and things can pass through from the inside. I bummed.

I'm glad you liked the joke. I look completely different today now. My hair was really long compared to my preferred 1/4" long, buzzed all-over, homegrown haircut. Got up this morning and broke out the clippers. Caveman Matt is gone for a few months.

PPlace and I Figured out a way to get Items to move in a perfectly liner motion.mwilson914 said:
It was the use of a pair of scissor points , this gives 3 pivot points to be edited in the aircraft editor within real flight.
I also have an Original Screenshot showing exactly how it is set-up.
PS, this is as good as it gets for now, and the suggestions you and td9cowboy made are worth pondering and a bit of action on Jims behalf. If only he was the one to Authorise the changes and go ahead.

ROFL!!! I can't wait to show this to my co-workers. They are always having to ask me what the heck I'm doing when I take pictures of myself like that. If only I had a short history on the forums. I think a name change to "Captain Caveman" would be a deserving title.

Can't wait until there is a I-phone App for turning your picture in to a caveman.. Hummmmm hehehe

I just thought of a very cool application for the scissor joint/linear motion for a scale aircraft. A working telescoping refueling nozzle for a KC-135 or KC-97 Stratotanker. Now if only we could actually refuel the aircraft.
Afterall, at the field I often have someone refuel my aircraft from an RC aircraft.....All the time I say.

No it's not done. I haven't done anymore to it yet from my last post with pics. I wanted to have a finished model on the swaps this week and would have had one for tonight, but I lost 3 days worth of work on the Micro 4 Site thanks to a destructive 3 year old. He also took apart our car charger for our phones and we can't find the parts.

Here this should help calm you down, remind you of anyone?
IS IT DONE YET?? IS IT DONE YET?? IS IT DONE YET??
Nah. I don't know if it was him really or the cats. They'll jump up on my desk and walk on the keyboard sometimes. The best is when they step on the reset button on my power strip. I've had that happen more times than I can count. I'll have the door shut and my wife will open it up to ask me something and the cat RUNS into the room and happens to get under my desk and step right on that glowing button before I can catch it.That has happened more than once and that day my wife was asking me why I actually need the door shut because she felt like I was excluding myself from the rest of the family. Before she could start on her next sentence that happened and I lost 3 hours worth of work on a really nice colorscheme. I never restarted that color scheme because I get so PO'd thinking about it.
The best part is I took an old T-REX canopy package and modified it to go over the power strip and it worked wonders until one day my computer goes dark and I feel the cat pawing at my knee. My box was gone! The wife took it and put it in with the recycables while I was at work. I asked her about it and told her what happened again to another thing I was working on for RF. She just kinda found it amusing as she asked why that stuff always seems to happen to me. This is the point where I start slamming my head repeatedly into a wall.
