or maybe they dont know much about wood and comp-arfs and are doing some research hehehe

I can't wait......!

I am so looking forward to this...

I'll bet you they are both working hard now, who is going to draw first blood?

Yep...look at the time...oh yeah...this is one seriously exciting match...YYYaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnnn...

Somebody wake me up when something happens, ok?

this is gonna get ugly, i'm getting the Print Screen button all ready.

I hope these guys know, paper planes beat out wood and composite any day. 8.5 by 11 FTW!

As Bill and Kris make it to the ring, let's shoot it up to Stacey for a tale of the tape!

This promises to be an epic right out of the gate!! We've got these two combatants with styles that should give the other a tough bout!!

Enter Kris "DEMIGOD" W. A Marine turned unofficial spokes model for BME engines. Kris's never say die disregard for physics and full frontal asualt to challenges, make him a very tough guy to duke it out with in the cyber battle arena.

Look for Kris to come out of the gate with a fake to Einstein! I look for Kris to challenge E=MC2 right from the start then REALLY pile it on from there! Somewhere in this classic battle, Kris will put 1 BME 115 Extreme in an Airbus 380 and claim "It flies SO much better than with those stupid heavy Rolls Royce POS's!! It doesn't matter how fast you go straight up as long as you keep going!!"


Bill "THE JUDGE" M. An intelect with writing skills and a caustic, in your face demeanor, AND THAT'S WITH HIS FAMILY DURING THANKSGIVING!!! Mis quote 1 figure, get one number in a calculation wrong, write 1 thing that can't be backed up and he's on you like a Pit bull with lock jaw!!!

I expect the Judge to come out questioning the BME tat Kris sports on his back. Next will be one of the Judges most famous tactics! He'll quote something or some fact by a made up scientist. If Kris doesn't counter (and quickly!) by calling Bill out on it,,,HE'S DOOMED!!!!

I eagerly wait for this one to get started. It promises to be the THRILLA IN MANILLA FOR OUR FIRST EVER BOUT!!

DING DING DING,,,,,,Ladies and gentlemen. Flying Giants proudly present the feature bout. HuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!

Biff you write too much..

This should be interesting for sure.

Well, I just only saw this in the last few minutes.

We all know that Wood is Good.
But let's be real here, Glass kicks A$$ !! fg43

But even the best composite airframe will pay homage (that's a French word, it means to pay special respect or honor) to the position wood played in allowing us to get started in this wonderful hobby. Most of them use a bit of wood here and there just to remind us of our roots (that would be a pun - I KILL Me!!!). Without wood, there would be nothing worth winning with our glass slippers.

As we progress I will of course educate you all to the Ultimate superiority of composite construction, not just for biplanes, but for most everything you can think of. Stayed tuned.

Easy Huck, you might be next...

Kris is trying to make his grand entry, but his BME motor wont start. LOL

Judge, I hope your first punch isn't your best (and I KNOW it isn't).....or I sense a first round knockout. On the flip side, I gotta give you BIG credit for being the first man to jump in the ring....seems like KW may be wimpering in the corner (although I highly doubt it). I don't dare pick a favorite in this match. May the best man win!!!!

There is only two things that are going to hurt this epic battle. Bill is NEVER wrong, he told me so. Kris is from the South, so that one thing eliminates him.
