Bandit12 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Wow - that climb rate would have been in inches per second, not feet per second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Isaac Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 WOW ... WOW. What a fantastic and risky stunt. That would hve taken some real calculation, planning skill. Imagine the turbulence from that turbine up front and trying to keep the glider tow ropes separated. I would have thouight it could have got real ugly real quick is something went wrong. Imagine tryong to get approval to pull that off here ...LOL Great music too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Isaac Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yeh Tomo, you would need a Kero burner in the Pawnee and 3,000 metres of runway ... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Isaac Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 You would about need 1500 metres to get the suckers airborne and sitting stable before you rotated by the look of it. I don't think the power is the real issue; more like lots of bitumen Tomo ... but it would be real hoot wouldn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exadios Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wow, 9 Blaniks with wings still attached! Who knew. What the proceedure was in the event of an engine failure would have been I cannot guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Isaac Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I reckon we could guess what the outcome would be though ... 9 Blanicks with missing wings ... unless that bloke in the turbine could pedal fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wow, a tug must be very expensive over there if you have to share the cost with eight other people. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
