Couple of very busy days here. Looks like everyone is having a great time. I know I am.

Still looking over the calender for another prospective date.

A new title for this Blitzbau maybe. "Facebook meets Blitzbau X". What a hoot.

This might be the best Blitzbau we've had up to now, it's certainly one of the busiest. Looks like everybody has brought their A game to this one.

Who or what is a gonzo? I know what a dude is. I think we need a translation from US English here :grin:

gonzo:1) Crazy, madcap, unwieldy, or anarchistic.

It also represents a journalistic style which is not intended here. Well, maybe.

It also represents a pornographic film style which definately was not intended here.

It also represents a little blue character with a long crooked nose from the muppets and that also was not intended here.

It also represents the name of the DHC-8's used by the RCAF for Nav training due ti the color of the aircraft and it's long nose.

Thanks for that Jeff. That's expanded my knowledge of foreign languages, didn't expect to do that on here :ha:

The JP would probably be good for this sort of thing Stoat, says the man here with no experience of blitzing. Best let one of the veteran blitzers advise you on that one :grin:

From what I have seen by others builds, the JP would be a good Blitzer.
