Jase is currently working on the electronics, and when the new sheet steel arrives it'll be fully covered. Will this be flashy-lighty type electronics, or will it actually fly? :o Stick a mini jet engine from an RC place in there and it'll really go :o |

I went through a period of watching far too much TVX - The Fantasy Channel. I accidentally guessed the PIN, and bought some porn each month; and pretended to my mother that 'TFC Buy' on the bill stood for The Film Channel... |

Moss, I can just imagine you accidentally trying numbers from 0000 to 9999 :) |

Oddly enough, the standard pin was 11234. So it was pretty easy :-) |

On Sky Digital, the pin number is, by default, the last four digits of the viewing card number unless you have changed it from what I remember. |

Well, she never saw it. I left a tape in overnight, and just hoped she didn't try to use the video recorder before I did in the morning. |

Thats what I do too, but sometimes I'd get up really early to watch it and enjoy the pleasure of my own company. |

Anyway the most exciting part about this is the rumour of a flying version -surely not :-0 |

A kite version would satisfy the "flying" criteria without Paul Vigay getting all excited, but generous use of steel kind of rules that out. |

The flying one won't be made of steel. It'll probably be plastic and balsa. Neither of which take welding too well ;-) |

It was a toss-up whether this one went up on Acorn Arcade or here, but it might make an amusing antidote to all the heavy GPL mass debates. Jason Tribbeck, more famous for writing games for use in the virtual world, has decided to bring his gaming skills into the real world for his latest project, the Steel Cobra.
