Guest ozzie Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Sure did. One of many i use for suitable occasions.
David Isaac Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 its a good one for you though Nev, grab it and he can't use again ...
facthunter Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Like a few good offers I have had over the years, you don't know where they have been. Nev 1
Yenn Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Mine could be constued as telling something of my flying, but I don't really low fly, just a quic run upm the strip into wind.
facthunter Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Not bad 80K. Did you make that yourself? Nev
eightyknots Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Not bad 80K. Did you make that yourself? Nev No, I came across this illustration on the web. The link is: http://www.123rf.com/photo_7696158_3d-illustration-of-a-large-magnifying-glass-hovering-in-front-of-a-red-and-blue-toy-plastic-airplane.html
facthunter Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Somebody owns it I presume. I'm not into computer graphics, but that looks OK to me. I did some art work and sculpture as a callow youth and even did a 3 wall long mural at Teacher's College. That was a challenge, as the people I depicted had to be recognisable for who they were or the effect would be zilch. (0 out of 10). ( Probably helped to reduce my pass marks because it wasn't too flattering of the people concerned). Another lose/lose situation that only a fool would offer to do. Nev

Nev I think it is a royalty free site but "make your own enquiries"
.Evan. Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Mine is just some silliness. I borrowed the idea from a pic I saw with a Thruster in a similar position. It made me laugh. It's what happens when boredom and Photo-chop meet! Also, I used it for my FarceBook avatar - some guys in an international aviation group started working out the improbable maths behind it! Nerds! 2
facthunter Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I've seen the thruster one. Yours is fine too ( if almost as unlikely). I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I would rather not have something that irritates me ( and maybe others). Avatars are a personal thing. I am not much into personal imagery and a significant shift to being concerned about it is not likely. I value integrity because it's necessary, you can't buy it, and I value it in all my friends, and it is lost easily. ( Bit of thread drift there? Maybe not.) Nev 1
eightyknots Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 These pictures are some recommendations (among many others) that came up when I used a search engine for "eighty knots". Er, now... ...which one shall I use?? I welcome your suggestions

( Bit of thread drift there? Maybe not.) Nev I wouldn't put something that irritates me, nor something that would purposefully irritate anyone else. I can replace it if it offends your mathematical sensibilities, FH. I value integrity. I also value a bit of a giggle every now and again. That's not a bad thing, is it?
facthunter Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Must be some confusion there, Evan. I'm not having a shot at anybody. I was explaining why I haven't selected a personal Avatar (for Me) yet. I respect everyone's right to do their particular thing in this regard. . Nev
.Evan. Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 My apologies Nev. I may have read a little too much into it as you were speaking to me and then to everyone within the one paragraph.
facthunter Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Hard to get the meaning clear sometimes, without being very labourious with every word. Thanks Evan.. Nev
eightyknots Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Bottom RHS. Nev Thanks for your recommendation FH. The only problem is that, by the time it is reduced to "avatar-size" the eighty knots are just about invisible. I've adopted the NYNA principle for 2012: (New Year, New Avatar) ...perhaps others will do the same? 1
eightyknots Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I like how it's like a spiral! Spiral: You mean the communication in this thread, Evan?
eightyknots Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 What's NYNA ?Alan. (New Year, New Avatar) ...perhaps others will do the same?
