I Don't know what ECM but I'm happy to be taught 😏
@Poppy Rider i meant not ecm sorry
ACM
air combat maneuvers
Right, I'm with ya.
the last bastion of the sword fighter tbh, even if we look on it in 2020 with all our tech as a dead-art just as sword fighting was
You ever flown a plane?
I like sword fighting. I've got a kid, I get plenty of pratice.
no im a car person, but i came to like it because in gaming sphere it proved to be deeper then i could of imagined
I flew one for about half an hour in new zealand. It was the best thing I've ever done.
it seems like basic sounding physics, but in practice more complicated then most people can manage, so then finding people who can instinctively react is like WEWEWEWEW
i'd imagine
i'd get a ultra-light if i could
Me too. I've got an old mower and I keep looking at in that way.
lmao
*what if i strapped a fan to this and tied a parachute to myself*
I live near a small air field and ppl go about in ultarlights all the time.
They did it a hundred years ago. With the motas we have these days and tools the average Joe can get hold of, I bet you could knock one together.
tbh i spent way too much time figuring out thrust to weight ratios of RC aircraft engines and air-foils i could tie to my body. luckily i was poor in my early 20s (and sadly) have remained poor, but at this point i have good enough depth in NACA archives if you could give me a decent thrust to weight i'd tie it to myself
I take it you watched that bloke fly over the channel a few years back?
which bloke?
link since could be handful in my state of confusion
4 hobby jet engines and home made fiberglass foil.
im sorry, i cant help looking at this and thinking this is the future of suicide bommers
"we cound just send the rocket sir" "but I wont get my 72 virgins then, strap me on!"
@Poppy Rider yep yep exactly what i was thinking of lol
a whole new meaning to virgin airlines
its cool figurative idea, but in reality a parachute with a lawnmower engine exists, has plans and advice, and gets same job done lol
slower speed but not like you are stationary
that guy has to hire a helicopter just so he can jump out, fugg that
Yeah. Flying feels incredible. When you're that high off the ground it doesn't matter how fast you're going, it's hard to tell. The felling of movement comes from the ears and in your gut.
s p a c i a l r e a s o n i n g
Is that what they call it?
Holy shit. That's fantastic.
