Painless

~S~ Skidders, Yes we have had a go at exploiting jet reaction on several occasions. Usually down at Southse sea front on a sunny day for maximum errrr.......PR effect ? LOL A raft was constructed something like yours using empty foam cans for buoyancy. This we ran with the Light Portable Pump in the castle mote . Steering was the main problem resulting in various crashes and sinkings due to the relative immovability of the stone mote walls ! Also crew members had often eaten too many cakes so the displacement was too great That flying idea might just work though ..............4x 1" nozzles, 5000Ltr/min pump, 10 Bar , 1x naked firefighter (inverted)............ ~S~ Painful.

~S~ Arthur M8, Bloody brilliant ! That's a lovely little plane and about twice as fast as the one I get to fly sometimes !! Is Rick going to fit a trim tab to one of the wings to sort out the level trim ? It's easy to see why some folks get the "bug" for flying isn't it M8 ! Thanks for the post. ~S~ Painless

~S~ Bucky M8, Sounds like a familier story, arse wipe driver on mobile phone causes chaos ! I'm glad you and the other boys were OK. I don't know if this would be any use to you guys but what the Fire Service do here to protect crews at the side of the road is to use the "fend off" parking method........... ~S~ Painless

~S~ Arthur M8, I would like to see that track ! WTG Skidders ~S~ Painless

~S~ you ugly bug eating amphibian A very happy birthday to ya. Hope you had a blast M8 ! ~S~ Painless

~S~ Sulky sir, About bloody time M8 ! LOL ~S~ Painless

~S~ Englanders, Hope you had a good day. We put a large George cross flag up on our 5 story drill tower for the day (The station is opposite a hoofing great mosque he he ) BTW: one of the chaps was saying that St Goerge was a Roman soldier with Christian parents...can anyone expand ? ~S~ Shameless.

~S~ Jason sir, Well if your going to have a "threesome" you might as well aim high !!! LOL Very smart M8 and your man sounds like a rare breed, (a politician with a conscience). Respect, Painless.

~S~ JP, They will have to change the name if you start frequenting the place..... "Double DD's lounge lizzard and grill" LOL ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, An ideal week would be to fly Tuesday, Thursday, DDz and Saturday UBI for 2 to 3 hours each. Having a wife, two sons and one "hire a friend" can and does bugger that up frequently ! LOL On top of that add a two days, two nights work shift system and it gets complicated. On top of that, add six BFS courses to teach at 7 x 3 hours each in a year. On top of THAT add many hours producing instructional graphics for JO's Vyiew classroom facility. Also add attending every flying course that JO have come up with over the last 4 years, (just doing ABS3 now)........ so maybe, on average enough hours ~S~ Timeless.

~S~ Rog M8, I have to agree, it all looks excellent. Thanks for all the hours M8 ~S~ Painless

P.

~S~ JasonPerk, I thought it was Sid eating breakfast at the Red Lion until the hat fell off !!! LMAO ~S~ Painless

~S~ DT M8, Makes you feel proud ! Thanks for sharing. ~S~ Painless

~S~ JP/Pete M8s, Now THAT was funny !!! Pete, you should come over to Duxford , I want to see if I can sneak right up on your six in the pub without spilling a drop of a pint of "Ruttocks Old Peculiar" Then I will be truly fulfilled !! LMAO ~S~ Painless

~S~ Trib, Great story and excellent pictures, thank's for sharing M8. "7 of 9" has to be my favorite !!! LOL ~S~ Painless

~S~ JasonPerk sir, LOOK AT HER FACE ! > ~S~ Shameless

~S~ Sir Jimbo, IMHO I think we should keep the flexibility of the Saturday / Sunday option for the show purely because of our lovely English weather. ~S~ Painless

~S~ Dave, I have had a "tearing" problem lately and have done a little reading up on the causes including monitor issues. You may already know this but the 60Hz is the rate at which the monitor can show a frame IE 60fps. Most graphics cards put out 120fps so that is why the Vsync

~S~ SkyPup, I was wondering the same thing, it looked like that was a 20 metre landing and a 5 metre take off , WOW! Even slower than a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (25mph) ? ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Chaps, Lovely graphics , shame I'll miss them in game because when I have to bail I always shut my eyes and shout "OH BOTHER!" To be really picky, where was the 300mph wind ? (ever been on the back of a bike at 150mph plus?) LOL ~S~ Painful.

~S~ Tonar M8, That's what impressed me the most ! WOW ~S~ Painless
