Just some interesting info gleaned from my new bedside reader. "The Hurricane II Manual" Section 2: Handling and flying notes for pilot. Engine Limitations: Max Take-Off : RPM = 3000 Boost = +12 Temp (Coolant/Oil) = -/- Max climbing (1Hr): RPM = 2850 Boost = +9 Temp (Coolant/Oil) = 125/90 Max Rich Cont. : RPM = 2650 Boost = +7 Temp (Coolant/Oil) = 105/90 Max Weak Cont: RPM = 2650 Boost = +4 Temp (Coolant/Oil) = 105/90 Combat (5min) : RPM = 3000 Boost = +16 Temp (Coolant/Oil) = 135/105 Oil Pressure (lb/sq.in.): Normal = 60-80 Minimum = 45 Min Temp for Take-Off (deg C): Oil = 15 Coolant = 60 Fuel Pressure (lb/sq.in.) = 8-10 Maximum speeds: (MPH IAS) Diving = 390 Undercarriage down = 120 Flaps down = 120 Climbing speeds: (MPH IAS) Maximum Rate Standard climb (all alts) = 155 up to 16,000 = 140 at 21,000 = 135 at 26,000 = 130 at 31,000 = 125 Economy Climb: RPM = 2850 Boost = +9 (Recommended Max rate speeds) Cruising: RPM = 1800-2000 Boost <= +4 (MPH IAS = 160) Stall speeds (MPH IAS) Gear/Flaps UP = 80-90 Gear/Flaps Down = 60-75 Approach speeds (MPH IAS) Engine assisted = 95 (Flaps up 105) Glide = 105 (Flaps up 115) Approx Fuel Comsumption (RICH MIX) RPM Boost Gall/Hr 3000 +12 115 3000 +9 100 2850 +9 95 2650 +7 80 pprox Fuel Comsumption (WEAK MIX) 2650 +4/+2/0 56/52/47 2300 +4/+2/0 50/46/42 2000 +4/+2/0 46/42/38 (NEGATIVE BOOST) 2650 -2/-4 42/37 2300 -2/-4 37/33 2000 -2/-4 34/30 Beam Approach Profile: Stage Height (feet AGL) MPH (IAS) RPM Approx Boost Action Change of trim/Remarks Prelim Approach 1500 120 2400 -2 / -1 Flaps 30/ Gear Down Strong nose down(flap)/Slight nose down(gear) Long Final 600 95-100 3000 -4 / 0 Flaps Full 60/ -- Nose down / Should give level flight Short Final 100 90-95 3000 -- -- -- Overshoot(Go Around) Up to 400 95-100 3000 Full Throttle Gear Up/Flaps up to 30/Flaps up/ -- Trim Nose up/Trim Nose up/Trim Nose up/Adjust Boost & RPM above 1000 feet.

Just need the F-14 next. "Mig 28's! No ones been that close before."

Gives a whole new perspective on why Skynet went homicidal on our asses. Humans are dicks!

I can try. If im a no show, it means I got called to work.

I'll try to make any I can. When is the next senario?

Yeah, but you don't lick the roast off the plate when you are done.

Happy birthday! Bongo. Sir.

Thank you all on both Threads. Had a few last night but tonight is the main event. Hope I can follow somebody's lead tomorrow, and dont end up dropping the eggs in the wrong basket.

Still active? I'm back in the saddle and have a new rig in the mail.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, they fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Lone Ranger nudges Tonto awake and says, "Hey Tonto, look towards the sky, what do you see?" Tonto replies, "I see millions of stars." "And what does that tell you?" asked the Lone Ranger. Tonto ponders for a minute, then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What it tell you, Kemo Sabi?" The lone ranger sighs and says, "Tonto you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."

Pleasantly surprised. It wasn't the "con" that I was expecting.

Definately a Yak series. I'm familiar with the A/C and the wing landing light on the port side. (skinning issues =P ) Looks like a Yak-9 or a Yak-9 of some variant. A Yak-1b and Yak-7 have a pronounced chin scoop. The Yak 3 has no scoop, and 2 cowling MG's and there appears only the one cowl MG firing. The Yak-9 and the Yak-9 D use the same model so that is impossible to tell by looks, the same with the Yak-9 M and the Yak-9 DD. My wager is on a Yak-9 M.

Happy birthday Arty! Happy birthday Tonar! Hope to see you online sometime in Sept. Until then Party On, Arty! Party On, Tonar!

Happy Birthday Kelly!

Just dipped my toes into the paranoia inducing, murderous, sociopathic, social experiment gone awry. In other words, RUST. Still in alpha but on steam for 20 bucks. It plays like a post apocalyptic minecraft 'free for all' without the blocky graphics. With up to 200 people on one server and lootable corpses, when you see a player you either kill him before he kills you. Run and hide before he can kill you, or go say "Hi" and hope he doesnt kill you. What is interesting from a social aspect is as the server increases in population, and the odds of running into the same players diminish, the asshattery increases exponentinaly. Just like real life XD

Standard. Two words though, (or is it one?) ARC-LIGHT Yahoo!!!

I'll have to give this one to Bongo, as it is the Found Aircraft company FBA-2C However the 'Bush Hawk' designation is for the FBA-2C2. Of modern design. 'Canadian' built and produced between 62-65 only 34 were built. With its enlarged cargo doors it tried to do the smaller jobs that the DHC-2Beaver was over qualified for, but was out performed by its contemerary, the Iconic C185. An upgraded aircraft, the Centennial 100 was developed and 5 were built. It approximated the performance of the C185 but unfortunately the company closed its doors before any more were produced.

Not Taylorcraft. Hint, not all the 'clues' are in the picture.

Haha! I've been waiting for this. Time for something a little closer to 'home'.

IL-86 if I'm not mistaken. Almost had me going for the B707 but the rear of the turbojet is shaped differently

Planning a demonstration of the "Super Duck" Hs129. There are no surviving aircraft remaining, but a man Dog can still dream right?

Thanks Jabo, She's beautiful. That ones on the Desktop already.
