F-22 Raptor v2

Vegard — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:07:15 +0000

After crashing my first F-22, I decided to build another one, but better and more scale looking. By downloading one of Steve Shumate`s creations I managed to build quite a nice plane.

It has same setup as last my first build, but is slightly smaller. I even gave it a better paint job, take a look in my gallery.

Dave Powers Shock Absorbing Motor Mount

Dave Powers has recently developed a system which saves your plane. It’s like a propsaver, but for the entire motor. Check out his test model and pictures at his site.

WÃ„RTSILA and body styling

Vegard — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:21:41 +0000

Today at school we had the international company WÃ¤rtsila visiting. They were visiting to tell about what kind of firm they are and visions they got. We also got an item:

There were two representatives, one adm-guy and a engineer. WÃ¤rsila is a company with a good reputation for making engines, large engines. They’ve recently started aiming at see vessels. The engineer “Christian” was one of three engineers creating an entire drilling-ship, which is pretty cool. Usualy there are like 300 engineers making a big ship like this one.

He had the responsibility everything concerning movement. Engines, thrusters, propels etc

Spam in Norway

Yesterday I made up my mind to use at least 10min on my blog each day. It’s been a rather dry period and I’m ending it now.

To day I went for the mail (physically) as I’m expecting a package from US. After me and my girlfriend moved together for ~14months ago, we decided (or I did at least) to add a “No thanks to unaddressed mail”-sticker, but today I found unaddressed mail from Peppes Pizza in my box. Not one letter, not two, but the magic number three. Three letters with just advertise. Pretty annoying, like all other spam. In Gmail usually I just mark it as spam, wish it was so simple.

I can safely add Peppes Pizza to my hate list. I’ll think twice before eating there next time.

Non-typical Saturday in Norway, FlorÃ¸

Vegard — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:02:03 +0000

This Saturday me and one of my buddies decided to go bathing on an island close to where I grow up, named “TerrÃ¸ya”. He got is own boat and his family own a part of this island with a beauty full beach. Take a look:

The sea was hot enough for bathing and we swam against some mountains were we could jump, 5-7 meters above the sea! pretty high. Luckily, the sea wasn’t shallow.

On the trip back we ran into a couple of guy’s “inspecting” the bow thruster. It seemed odd as it was an civil boat so I took a picture.

We didn’t get a glint of what they were doing, but it felt fishy.

Looking forward to a new sunny day as it tend to rain allot on the cost.
