Inkscape doesn't like importing gradients, even from pdfs made with Inkscape. It's better to redo them from scratch. Sometimes I get a better result when I try the "import with poppler" option. But I still prefer redoing them.

It would be interesting to see those harnesses and switches ... if we really got to see them

No... Don't even think about it, Bruno. (me talking to myself)

Do some other helicopter in stead. Good idea.
Why not something with a big mathematical number.

Are all numbers mathematical?
Nice model.
Any one knows when they switched from 4 to 5 blades?
In the MD500?
Lots of potential: private, police, ASW, tank hunter, sea intruders destroyer, film and TV celebrity................

Pretty sure the later ones have an uprated engine. We never had much problem with not enough power but the guys flying "Charlie" model gunships sure did. They had to drag their skids along the PSP on very hot humid days until they got enough forward motion to get what is called "transitional lift". (LookItUp)

Do I get a Barbie as well? I like the ones that have trouble standing up.

Ah, Magum PI! I loved that show when I was a kid.

On the Canberra front, I've added 2 australian examples (sqn 2 in Vietnam and no. 1 OCU in Australia).
