Help with sab-100 drops in a SU-25

[PFMM]

My understanding of sab-100's frome reading posts here and elsewhere is that one adopts level flight, turns on the laser, the red light shows up and you drop them.

 

This is not working at all for me. The only way I have been able to drop them is in a dive bombing profile, which only results in about ten seconds of illumination.

 

Could someone provide some tips and/or tracks to show me the way to the light?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Alt-w overrides launch authorization. IIRC a drop from 3000M will give you good illumination time.

A while since i last took a night spin in an Su-25, so not sure I can help as to why you are having a problem, but here is some useful info I found a while ago about height versus burn times.

 

SAB-100 burn times from AlasRojas website

 

ALTURA TIEMPO

 

1.000 m. 1:10 min.

 

2.000 m. 2:48 min.

 

3.000 m. 4:28 min.

BINGO!!!

 

Thanks Red Star. Seems so obvious now.

 

Brit_Radar_Dude, the AlasRojas website was the one of my Google finds too. They also have a procedure for using it described but babelfish does little for my Spannish. Thanks anyway.

 

In fact with the alt-w override you can launch them in climbing flight for even more time.

Hi All,

 

I've created and posted two videos on YouTube to help flyers understand the effects and employment of the SAB 100 Illumination Bomb.
