I'm sure if there is a fetish where people get aroused by intricate PCB and circuit layouts, they be sporting mahogany at the sight of these pictures

this baffles me, I am almost willing to claim that the reason why so many of these failed in combat is because those components would simply pop off from the boards due to the G forces, Those PCB's are not much different from those I made and soldered by hand in my senior high.

Speaking of which someone on the secretprojects forum just bought a AIM-7F guidance section and an APG-68 when NG cleared one of their where houses.

I was wondering about that too. Maybe they cast that whole thing in some kind of epoxy resin in the final product to make sure it wouldn't fall apart?
