  1. Not if the motor is pulverized, as i would expect it to be. I tend to agree with you on this one Haha umm yeah, gotta love those journalists... I doubt the journalist has the stab, I am going to believe the person who has pictures to prove they have contact with those who have the stab. Until proven otherwise of course... :)
  2. If you want to dissagree with someone who's job is to fix planes on weather the warhead exploded or not, that's your choice. I would think it would be a lot easier to tell if a warhead went off or not than what type of missile it was. Like I said before I don't believe it was a MANPADS. In the video I linked earlier there is an f-15 flying around fairly low (it seems) presumably in the same country as the one that was hit.
  3. Oh, sorry! Totally my fault! I got mixed up and thought it was the vertical stabilizer :doh: Please disregard previous comments about the stab.
  4. I don't believe it was a MANPADS, I am just pointing out that to break off the top of the vertical stabilizer the missile had to have come from the side slightly, so not a straight tail chase. I'm not trying to be arguementitive, I'm just stating my observations.
  5. The damage is also not consistent with getting hit from behind and below, I would think to break off the top part of the vertical stab you would have to hit from the side, video can be deceiving at high zoom levels. Also, the contractor fixing the stabilizer probably knows better wether the warhead detonated. The flash was probably what was left of the rocket motor burning off. IMHO
  6. Yeah, I was being semi-sarcastic ;)
  7. Sad, praying for him and his family.
  8. Price was decreased, price was increased back to what it was before , but still an increase, i don't know why people are getting so bent out of shape about this. Even if it went to $25 it would be an increase, if it goes up, its increased, if it goes down, its decreased. Thats life.
  9. Ok, i think both sides have made a lot of good points, and some bad, but excuse me if i am missing something obvious. What in the living hecking crap is an f-15 doing so low in the first part of the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lkU7oxOmjY
  10. He is just saying its very possible that they are developing a much better piston engine system in general, like radial, inline, opposing, cooled by whatever ect.
  11. Sorry i couldn't help, glad you got it figured out. Don't feel stupid, we all had to learn sometime!
  12. Great shots! The Yak-52 has always been my dream plane! Have fun!
  13. Yes, the 52 looks much more beautiful!
  14. Sorry, I just realized i cant help you, i don't have nevada. Can you make a video by chance? Do you trim after take-off? almost all aircraft require trim, especially asymmetrically loaded ones.
  15. I'll look into it...
  16. Thanks! looks amazing!
  17. You could try adjusting the engine % in the ME, I don't know to what value though...
  18. 1.A The reserve is to stop the idiots who don't plan from slamming into the ground. 1.B In the area that i live (lots of rivers and lakes and mountains) fog can be extremely localized, not saying its a good idea to plan a flight with an alternate a few minutes away. 1.C Remember, your saying there is nothing foolish about making a 20 min hop without reserve. 2. Yeah, thats the point, you want to take as many holes out of the swiss cheese as you can, and if that means a rule-of-thumb "catch all" for the once a month $100 hamburger people, then i am all for it. P.S. Thanks for clarifying (but yeah, this is kinda OT)
  19. Unless you arrive and there's a chunk of fog on the airport. nothing foolish is a stretch. I can't really understand what this means, can you clarify? Thanks
  20. You have to have 1.5 OB or you will have to wait another day for the standalone installer. Source: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3368158&postcount=128
  21. Aren't max range and max endurance different?
  22. I believe 1.5 OB will be UPDATED and then it will ask if you want to delete 2.2, there wont be a separate install when you update 1.5, it will be like a normal update other than the differences ;)
  23. 30 min reserve is required legally here in the US (VFR).
  24. Unless it was hot...
