RE: TamJets A-4 problem tucking issue
sounds reasonable amigo. its been a few years. the lighter the better, i think the light weight version with a wren 44 would be as good as it gets.

RE: How Stupid Is....
easy amigo no need to defend the project. it does just fine, time after time after time. "what would you doooooooooooooooo if you......" (America FYEAh) and ultimately the HMFIC would've dropped the hammer if Gates hadn't believe what you want but the jets presence is a deterrent. peace [quote]ORIGINAL: tp777fo Nothing in the sky can touch it. There has been only 1 Raptor ''killed'' in all the simulated combat exercises yet..and that one was on a technicality. A Rules of Engagement mistake where a F-18 was able to ''regenerate'' into the fight after just getting shot by the Raptor it then turned around and ''killed'' the guy who just shot him. From the takeoff position to 600+ knots by the end of the runway, cruise at military power at 1.5+Mach, and at 60,000ft. If it's a turkey then I would hate to see one in my six...oh yeah, you will never see it because it pukes out missiles from further than anyone else....you just get the rapid decompression and dual firelights to let you know it is around. The Air Force shot itself in the foot because the bird can do much more that they talk about..why do you think we wont sell it to anyone else....guess because it's a turkey.. It was killed because our SECDEF wants to save money for trucks and bullets. He thinks we will be chasin'' OBL around for years. (Maybe he's right since we dont have the balls to do what we need to end the fight) The Chinese and Russians are laughing their ass off at us. Both the Russians and Chinese have 5th Generations fighters (stealth) in the works and both currently field the ''double digit SAMs'' with extremely long range which will pick off current generation fighters from distances we have never seen before. We man not fight the Russians or Chinese but it is guaranteed we will fight their EQUIPMENT. [/quote]

RE: TamJets A-4 problem tucking issue
I think the the leading edge slats deployed more as a function of airspeed amigo. can't remember exactly but i do remember if they deployed asymmetrically you would be in for a helluva ride until they both deployed. IRT the Tam A4, I would fly her again but not pull as tightly in the turns and see if that helps. float the turn and try to maintain as much energy at the completion of the turn as you began with. if it doesn't then i would move the CG back a little bit more and try again. highly recommend being as smooth as possible when putting any G on the bird especially horizontally. additionally, try taking her into a 1/2 loop and as you get near the top increase the G and see what happens. it might depart on you but the question you have to ask is when does it depart controlled flight? at the onset of increased elevator throw or somewhere nearer the last bit of elevator throw? if it does depart then relax the controls, allow the airspeed to increase while going wings level and then slowly add in elevator to fly out of the maneuver. once you get the hang of it she'll tumble with great enthusiasm ultimately, the key to A4 is being smoooooooooovvvvvvveeeee good luck but i'd venture to guess you're probably fine. Andy Wurner is flying one with a P70 at Miramar, maybe talk to him about his experiences. cheers buck [quote]ORIGINAL: Don Y With the delta type wing a very large percent of the lift is generated by the inboard part of the wing. With the large intakes blanking out that part of the wing during a turn the low wing will have less lift and the plane will tend to increase the roll. The fix on the full=scale was automatic leading edge deployment to compensate. Neither balance nor weight will correct the problem. [/quote]

RE: What Servo To Use For BVM Smooth Stop?
hitec 85mg will work amigo. when installing any servo to any surface be sure to double check with an in-line ampmeter what its doing. particularly at extreme ends of the throw. but as others have said already, any servo will work. the ones recommended in the directions just happen to fit the laser cutouts

RE: Black Smoke???
Andy can you clarify for me. are you using Diesel through a smoke injector (i.e. Tams pump) or through the motor as fuel?? I think our F4s would look AWESOME!!! with a thin veil of smoke coming out of her. anyone have Eddie Week's number to confirm diesel fuel and the after effects it produces. [quote]ORIGINAL: AndyAndrews I've tried diesel. Its just a little more dingy than Super Dri. Not black. I've been working on a formula for colored as others here have. Dye is messy.
