Boxster against a brick wall

Spinnaker · 08-29-2011, 07:04 PM

Didn't even have to leave the driveway for this one.
Next: Boxster with a R/C airplane
( thank Lobo1186 for this idea)
You can do this one Sasha, get over to Marymoor Park before it gets dark.

Thanks for bringing this to the forum, Overdrive.
Fun thread to follow.

I'm glad people got in on it and started contributing, Stroked & Blown. It is fun, and sometimes quite funny, to see people meet some of these challenges.

Hey, Spinnaker, hope you've got yourself an RC plane handy in case someone can't find one themselves.

I know I'm behind on the tally, but I'll have a current one up by Friday.

You'd think Lobo1186 would have jumped on this one. After all, it was his idea in the first place, and you're letting me down Sasha. The R/C field is right in your neck of the woods. It's 20 miles away from me.

I'll try to get one tomorrow morning, work is crazy lately

Well, 48 hrs. are up and all of you are dismal. Had to dig this out of storage, it hasn't seen daylight in 30 yrs. Originally built it in 1975. This will satisfy the rules of the game.
Since I feel guilty about the brick wall challenge, all I had to do was go out in front of the house, I will donate my point for the brick wall picture to anyone who can identify the make and model of this RC glider in the next 24 hrs. Think of it as a challenge within the challenge.
I'm not going to make it any easier for you all for the next picture challenge.
NEXT: Boxster with a snow covered mountain (a real mountain).
You guys up in Alaska should have this covered in a snap. For some of you, if you know anything about photography and lenses, you really don't need to be that close to a mountain to get it into the picture. For the flat landers, sorry, you can get even in a later challenge.

haha unfortunately I have no RC plane

The only reason I brought it us was the toy car and then someone saying it had to be a real plane... and an RC plane is real and a toy

24 hours and no one came through. This RC glider was originally designed and made by Hobie Alter of surfboard and catamaran fame in 1974. It is a Hobie Hawk. The elliptical dihedral should have been a dead giveaway. It is a very distinctive feature of this glider, (tonycarreon-the Airtronics Aquila has the more conventional polyhedral and the wing has a constant cord center section.)
Thank you Overdrive for letting me hijack your thread. I had a feeling that my point wasn't in too much risk, now back to the picture challenge. You would think that anyone from Alaska to Colorado could do this easily. Hell, I can see a snowy mountain from Seattle and I don’t even have to leave the city.
