New Web Site

[admin]

I have upgraded the web site, tell me what you think.

[TSnake]

Excellent, I'm very pleased to see some activity on this site, I'm a big fan of your S15 and Booby, hopefully this new site will increase their popularity around the world.
At first glance, the site looks great, but I'll wait 'till I've had a chance to have a better look at the site before making further comment, that'll have to wait as I've got to hurry off and go flying before it rains.

Well done (pete, are you the administrator of the site ?).

Hello Peter. I will call you tonight as per our last.Happy landings.Mal.

[admin]

Hi TSnake.
Yes im the administrator.

[TSnake]

The new site looks great Pete, I especially like the idea of this forum.
I'd like to make a couple of suggestions;

When I first discovered Wowings, I came to this site and started looking around at the pictures and reviews. It worried me that they were all dated 2007 and prior, I thought that maybe the site and company may have been winding down. This new site still has only old content in the review and gallery sections, you really need to update those areas. I've already supplied you with a new picture of my S15 and Booby (Terry from Townsville), and I'd be happy to write a small burst by way of a new review.

I can't find the videos that used to be on the old site, they were a major selling point for me and it would be a shame to loose them. If you can't spare the bandwidth, you could just link to Vimeo and Youtube.

One other thing, it maybe my fault, but I can't post a quick reply on the forum. It wont accept any text. I'm forced to click the "post reply" button.

This picture of my Booby is just a test to see if it works.

Edit; I noticed the allowable file sizes are pretty small, 97 KB limit for jpegs and less than 20 KB for bmp files, I guess you're trying to keep the bandwidth manageable.

Hello Peter and everyone. I am new here I have been looking all over the web for slope gliders and I must say Your web site is Great!!! I look forward to putting in an order with you soon. I live on Phuket in Thailand and we have some great places to fly here.

[TSnake]

OK, I'm now officially GREEN with envy.
Thailand's beautiful, and Phuket just blows my mind.

You're a very lucky man.

Sounds like a good chance to get some spectacular new pictures for your gallery Peter.

[hdmcgatha]

TSnake, Thank you and yes Phuket is very beautiful. I look forward to placing an order very soon with Peter. I will post photos of the build. I love to sport fish when the wind is not to strong and when it is I like to fly.

Has anyone ever spray painted or airbrushed EPP?
What do you need to do to prep the EPP?
Do you need to prime the EPP?
What type of primer and paint should be used?

[TSnake]

EPP takes paint very well, you don't need to prime the surface, you don't even need any special paint (I use the cheapest spray paint I can find).
I haven't painted any Wowings products, but I have painted many other EPP planes with great success.
If in doubt, test it on a small offcut of EPP and see if you like the results..

[hdmcgatha]

Thanks TSnake, I have never painted EPP but I was thinking about doing it this time.

About time the site got a freshen up Pete.

Looks good :)

We must be due for some news??

Whats new at Woowings........anything new comming out?

[AussieJarred]

nice webside pete, looking good, and nice to see...

[TSnake]

I have another question,

I tried to embed a Youtube video in the other thread, and it didn't work.
I ended up just pasting a link to it, can we embed videos on this site ?

[TSnake]

I don't understand, what's with all the pornography appearing on this forum ? Why do they bother posting it ?
What does this person get from doing this anyway ?

Is trying to understand their motives, like trying to understand a 2 year old's motives for breaking his brother's toys ?
It just looks so sad to me (maybe it's a cry for help).

Anyway, Pete do you have the ability to block them ?

[TSnake]

Am I the only person who's reporting this bore ?
Pete can't be expected to patrol this site 24/7, he needs to be informed of this kind of abuse, so he can do something about it.

Seems lots of people are viewing this garbage, but just can't be bothered to report it to the administrator (click the little red triangle in their post).

Do we really want children exposed to pornography on THIS site ?

:) Think of the children :)

[TSnake]

I've been told that you're overseas at the moment Pete, but honestly !!!

This site is being ruined by this retard posting pornography, how long will it be before something's done about it ?

:(

[hdmcgatha]

TSnake, I agree... all of this porn stuff stinks. I hope it is gone soon.
