SKYRAY Page 4

25" wing span, .049 ducted fan.
 
The Douglas F4D-1 Skyray;  Aircraft design was moving very rapidly in the 1950s, and compared to the present day, a new combat aircraft could be designed and built in a relatively short time at modest expense. The result was that a large number of machines were introduced in that decade, to be quickly obsoleted by improved successors. One of the unusual combat aircraft introduced during that busy decade was the "Douglas F4D-1 Skyray", a modified-delta single-seat carrier-based air combat fighter, derived from German design concepts developed late in the Second World War. The Skyray was an innovative aircraft, but it was only built in limited numbers and was obsolete in a short time. It remains interesting, though almost as much because of its faults as its virtues. This document provides a history and description of the Skyray.

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.
"Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?"
"Then I'll be sure my daughters will visit me twice a week."



Frequently asked question.

Uncle Willie,
 
Received the plans.  Thanks.  Pardon my lack of knowledge.  If I take this file to the print shop, will it automatically print out the full size plan, or do I have to specify how to obtain the correct size?
 
Thanks,
Rich
 
The file INSTRUCTS the PRINTING MACHINE to the correct size paper to use, dots per sq. in., color & ect. 
There is NOTHING that you need to tell the printer.
Thanks, Willie 
 FYI, I worked at a print shop for years, so I know what I am doing!
