Join the club. One minute I was innocently perusing the forums, the next I'm photoshopping some questionable group build badges for a build I won't even participate in. I don't even know why I was following this thread to begin with!

If I werent so overcommitted already I'd be in. It looks like an official GB now, but I do recall someone saying that it might be to broad of a subject. A possibility could be a WWII German Jet/Rocket GB. Open up to a few more subjects. I do not mean to offend anyone with this suggestion as I do find the 299 a very interesting plane.

No.

Because Luft 46 stuff blows.

 

Yeah, you're right...fortunately the 229 is Luft '45 stuff and it doesn't blow...it actually flew...

I learned something. I never knew it actually flew, I thought it was only in protoype stage. Still, I'm kinda like Hans when it comes to prototypes. I can tell the GB is gonna be a hoot though. Jeff would be proud.

Alright, you pansies, looks like we have enough "229'rs" to get this show on the road.  Here is the list of participants I have so far:

Jester, Aaron, Gamera, Vance, Kermit, P38 and Konigwolf...plus myself, and that's 8 *MOJOs!  Cool...everyone else is a loser, especially Bish who keeps pretending he doesn't want to be in this GB when he really does...his wife just won't let him...

Okay, we have a badge (thanks to OddMan), we have 8 participants, and today is the first offical day of the build: 12-1-2010 thri 2-29-2011.  With 29 day extensions possible...

The only thing I need to know now is what you will be building...

*DISCLAIMER: the word used here is MOJO, not MO_O with an "F"...

If it makes a difference, this Mojo will be following along since I've already donated some sweat and tears to this project. 229 is interesting and entertaining so it'll be neat to see what you fellows come up with.......not to mention the plane is interesting too Wink
