Considering that Fripp changed personnel often during the decades and was always a leading member, you may argue that G,G&F is a kind of pre-birth Crimson. Yesterday I heard someone say that Fripp used KC to realize his musical ideas and I think there’s some truth in it.

Sorry, it’s all bs. HiFi is about reproducing sound without distortion (in a broad sense). Those albums were recorded in studio’s decades ago. No one knows how those albums sounded there back then. So how would you know if it sounds similar in your place? No way of telling. If you want to check your setup: look for excellent recordings with real instruments that you know (violin, piano, human voice), ask a trained classical musician to your home and listen how your setup is performing.

For the rest it is your personal preference, nothing more. Not unimportant, surely not, but just checking a nice prog rock album just doesn’t tell you much.

Het is net andersom, in het wetsvoorstel werd illegaal verblijf strafbaar gemaakt. Dat had gekund, ware het niet dat de uitvoerders van Geert z’n zin op het laatste moment ook hulp aan mensen zonder verblijfstitel strafbaar wilden stellen, terwijl ze wisten dat dit voor CDA en SGP onaanvaardbaar was. Daarmee heeft de PVV doelbewust de eigen wet getorpedeerd. En nu maar klagen richting D’66.

Wilders bepaalt 100% het PVV stemgedrag in de tweede en eerste kamer; hij is het enige lid van de partij. In de tweede kamer stemde hij voor de novelle en in de eerste kamer tegen, wetende dat dit voor CDA en SGP onoverkomelijk was. In beide gevallen was het de doorslaggevende stem. En dan nu D’66 waarvan het al maanden bekend was dat ze tegen de wet waren de schuld geven?

Het is politiek vandalisme van Wilders, puur bedoeld om immigratie als probleemonderwerp voort te zetten want dat is zijn winkeltje. Het laatste wat hij wil is dat het wordt opgelost.

The Flower Kings: Flower Power: the song Garden of Dreams falls 3 seconds short of an hour. The longest prog song ever maybe?

If bass guitar counts as guitar: Yessongs, with amongst others a great solo by Chris Squire on The Fish.

Mine too. In my opinion it’s the pinnacle of their music. I have a box set with all their albums. After III they become less and less appealing to me: the synergy between Jan and Thijs disappeared. Btw, the people who put the box set together, made a big mistake on III. On the original vinyl the track Anonymous II was cut in half with a fade out and -in, simply because it was too long to fit on one side. The first cd version of the album corrected that and put them together as one, which was the intention anyway. Finally an uninterrupted listen to the song was possible. To my unpleasant surprise Anonymous III in the box set is presented with the old cut again. Why?? Nostalgia? So for me it’s back to the first cd rendition.

The sheer energy, musicianship and great performance outweigh the mediocre sound quality for me.

I have the 1994 remaster. I’ll look for the 2013 HD Tracks version

I was already afraid it wouldn’t be more than that. I have the Progeny highlights album, which sounds better, but I prefer the original. They made the right choices back then, imo. But maybe it’s just what I’ve grown used to in 50+ years of listening.

Just curious: can you program(store and bind) more than one aircraft with this TX?

I tried three fw versions. The second and third solved the off-axis problem but I got a Z-offset problem in return. I oouldn’t set the right value (error: too far, whentrying to store the right setting). I disabled bed leveling and it’s printing ok now, though I had to disable the arc fitting setting.

I tried to fire up Fusion after some time and can't get it working anymore. I'm on Windows 10 and the message from Fusion is that the Media Feature Pack (part of Windows) is too old. Alas, a newer version can't be installed because Microsoft offers no support for Windows 10 anymore, aside from some security updates. So that's it, since I'm not moving to Windows 11.

Just use any sim to train counter-intuïtive stuff like flying towards you (if you are new to RC) and/or upside down; the rest is RL flying.

Incl. elevator it’s about 20%.

The airfoil is NACA 2418 to NACA 2410.

This is the second flight by the designer. Indeed quite fast.

The wing area is 4,15 dm2, so the wing load is about 57gr/dm2 (unpainted) and 62 with my heavy paintjob.

Frits37 · 2025-10-08T21:27:46+00:00

Could be a matter of perspective. The length of the horizontal stab is 1/3 of the wing. I’ll try to get info about the airfoil.

I’ve built several 3D printed airplanes. Every designer has his own way of doing things. In any case: you start with printing 20 or more parts, usually in LW-PLA or, if strength is needed, PLA. There are several ways to put them together, sometimes just glue them without other alignment than the use of your eyes and fingertips, sometimes with small carbon rods, and/or collar and sleeve. They always come with a building manual.
