Minor change to the SBD?
« on: May 24, 2002, 11:41:03 AM »
Superfly:  Awesome work!  Beautiful looking plane, that Dauntless of yours.

Is there a possibility of making a minor change?  Most of the pics I've seen of the SBD in action had the cockpit slid open.  Personally, it would give the SBD an even more aunthentic feel :D - wind blowing in your hair type of thing I guess!  I like the way it looks now and it wouldn't bother me if you left it the way it is.  In my opinion it would just be even cooler with the cockpit slid open :D.



Famous Pic from Midway!

how about having the canopy slide in game?

When it slides back the wind noise would increase in proportion to the amount the canopy was opened.

it could be like flaps where it could only be opened at or below certain speeds.

I came up with that Idea in another post! :D and you would have to have doors open to bail out.

Sitting here looking at the "Ghosts 2002" calendar for May.

The "poster children" for May are... dun dun DUN dah....

A pair of Dauntlesses in formation.

Guess what.

The canopies are.....  both CLOSED in the picture.  


Looks good Superfly! Nicely done! Now are you or Nate going to do the B-25-C?  Please submit sketches. Winner gets Jack's BBQ!

:D
