@deathstrike9 ай бұрын
The Germans have always been masters at building smooth and precision machines. They don't skimp on aircraft either. German design philosophy emphasizes on putting less workload on the pilot, more on the plane. This aircraft is designed so that every single piece acts as a gigantic whole to balance airframe stress throughout the airplane. So no one part take more stress than an another part. This is a critical design philosophy when using carbon fiber for the structure. The only downside? The sheer expense as this airplane costs considerably more than a competing aluminum or fiberglass frame. But you are paying for the best. And this bird delivers in every aspect!!

I stopped the video to make a comment. I am no scientist, but I am very mechanically inclined. My parents said that if I keep taking my Christmas toys apart to see what makes them run, they will stop getting me presents. When Lee explained the performance parameters were unlimited, then said 450 degree. . . I wasn't sure what that meant but Cleetus, even though I KNOW he already knew, made it sound as if he didn't so that people like ME, that watch his video would be educated without making us feel dumb...and Cleetus, that works brother, that really works, you did it with the suspension upgrade on your plane. I work with degrees as a pipe welder, but nothing goes over 360, so 450 made me think, and then I figured it at 1.25 per second ...at 234 KNOTS. ( That equates to 394.948 FEET per second ! ) The level of strength, rigidity built into that plane is almost beyond comprehension, I’m going to stop typing because I can't wait to watch the rest of this video. (GB1 Game Bird, what an easy name to remember).

Bringing back the old school air races like they had in the 20's and 30's would be amazing.. unfortunately with the amount of houses most places anymore about the only places you could do it would be Southern California in the desert, Nevada, part of Arizona, New Mexico and possibly Wyoming... maybe Montana but I doubt the ranchers would be happy. The long distance races with experimental aircraft were a REALLY cool part of history and I honestly believe they are a huge part of why there was such a huge tech jump between WW1 and WW2 when it comes to planes. My favorite move is the Split S.. at altitude roll inverted then pull back hard to go vertical, then roll again and pull back hard again. It's the quickest way to turn around and head the opposite direction. Watching Dogfights you learn a lot of tricks, most can be traced back to the Aces of WW1.

As somebody that has worked in aviation...We didn't have metric tools because none of our aircraft had metric fasteners. Which means no worries about losing the 10mm. Even Airbus uses SAE fasteners in their planes. You might find some metric on some interior fittings but nothing major.

@griffinfaulkner351410 ай бұрын
That agility and responsiveness actually makes it less than ideal for a trainer aircraft. For an aircraft to be that maneuverable it needs to be somewhat unstable, and the last thing you want as a new or learning pilot is an unstable aircraft. Think of it like learning to drive; you start off with just a bog-standard sedan (aircraft equivalent would be the Cessna 172) because it's harder to get yourself in trouble, and you're far less likely to overcorrect and make any problems you have worse.

31:39 Man I wish I could've seen more of that new plane they're building. I've been hearing rumors about Gamebird building a composite ag plane for a while now, and this short little clip is the most I've ever seen or heard of it that was actually verified. There's so little information about it that I was pretty certain it wasn't even real. I've been weighing my options as to whether my next plane is going to be an 802 or 710 Thrush, but I'd love to have a plane like this if it ends up being a good one.

I held 7 G's in an L-39 (a jet somewhat similar in shape & size to an F-16) a couple years ago and flew it myself for part of the 45 minutes we were in the air. Buzzed a tree line at less than 30 feet and carved through a valley between some small mountains at one point. If you've never experienced more than a couple G in an aircraft before, I will say that no matter how many videos you watch, amount of experience you got in flight sims, or how much research you've done, it won't prepare you for how intense and strange 3+ GeForces can feel. Especially when you get into the 5+ G range, the best way to describe it is that it feels like you have a thousand little strips of duct tape with tabs on each piece, and someone is pulling down on each of those tabs. You feel parts of your skin and organs that you never even think of, and by the time we hit 6 Gs, it was MUCH harder to lift my hand up from my lap to reach for the controls. P.S. The exact L-39 I flew in is 'flow' by James Bond in the 007 movie Tomorrow Never Dies, which is kinda neat.
