Avilator

:D I was not speaking to your skill, I was speaking to the engines cutting out after 10 seconds of negative g.

Exactly. I was (gently) correcting power5's comment about the distortion being the result of moisture alone, not pressure or temperature differences.

First Cessna, now Cirrus, what's next? Beechcraft? Piper?:smilewink:

The S-8's nozzles are straight out the back of the rocket. On the Vikhr, there are two nozzles, one on each side, pointing outwards. This is because the laser sensor is in the extreme rear of the missile, making the space unusable for the nozzle. Maybe this is the reason?

It is if you're like that longer than 10 seconds.

That is true, but what is happening in the photos without visible vapor is that the differences in air density are making small changes in the speed of light traveling through those areas. Those differences are perceived as "ripples." And you don't have to be going fast either, you can see this effect on aircraft with their flaps down, in the right conditions.

I have to agree with you. (Not on the whole Apple thing, but on these devices in general.) If I wanted a device to show me where I was in relation to terrain on an approach to minimums, I would not trust such a mass consumer product. As a backup or for displaying charts only, sure, but not as primary navigation. I would prefer my gadgets panel-mounted by an avionics shop.

I like the style you use.:thumbup: The Joker on the first and the magazine on the last are interesting.:D

That is frekkin' SWEET!:thumbup:

That makes sense, thanks.:book:

B-17

I can see the collective, but why is there another grip besides the collective and cyclic? Is the third grip duplicated for the other crew member?

What? Are you crazy? The first post you make is complaining about how much it costs? ED could easily sell this product for twice the money. This is an expensive hobby. If you can't afford it, then quit complaining.

Hey, those flights to and from the target area can take a while.:megalol: Reminds me of this:

Got it, thanks.:thumbup:

Good info, thanks. I was more after what pitbldr designed the panel to.

I'm partial to digital camo myself, cool shot.

Whoops. Speaking of lasers, how deep are the cuts for the lettering?

Spambot maybe, given the link in the sig?

You make a good point.:suspect::detective:

Lookin' spiffy:thumbup: If I may be a stickler and point out an error/inconsistency: there is a set of plus/minus signs on the left-most rocker.

^^I agree. Way more fun if you fight off bandits on the way in, bomb the hell out of something, and fight the way out. That as opposed to going in circles until something pops up, then shooting at it before you can even see it.

Why the (apparently) immobile stick grip in the center?

Like this: This is what the syntax looks like: [YOUTUBE]MWn0lxRNqos[YOUTUBE] You just need to add a forward slash before YOUTUBE in the second set of brackets. Or you could click the Youtube button when you create a post, and put what's after the equals sign in the link between the sets of brackets.

I thought I recall something about a hook release somewhere in the Shark's pit. On the collective maybe?
