    From the upcoming Special Edition Ascent: Commemorating Space Shuttle DVD/BluRay by NASA/Glenn a movie from the point of view of the Solid Rocket Booster with sound mixing and enhancement done by the folks at Skywalker Sound. The sound is all from the camera microphones and not fake or replaced with foley artist sound. The Skywalker sound folks just helped bring it out and make it more audible.

    Was it economical? Look at the diameter of that turbine exhaust. What do you think? :)

    I can't understand why the pilot was standing on the brakes. The outcome is inevitable.

    Really. How so?

    Great. Looking at the table the descent rate of the Eurofox is the main contributor to its good time.
  7. Exadios
    So, why is the descent rate for the Eurofox so high?

    I don't actually know the story on this one. I got this from FB. Unfortunately this site does not accept links to to the source. The original caption was, "Richmond Gliding Club with their unique IS-28B2 glider trailer at Forbes!" I posted it here because its so bizarre. Most of the other photos that I've posted recently have either been taken by myself or sent to us for publication.

    No doubt all of that is true. But what's it got to do will two gliders colliding at the WGC?
  11. Exadios
    And?
  12. Exadios
    Huh?

    More of the same.

    The temp given in the manuals is usually 2 degrees C. Some of the twins have a little more complex tail water ballast arrangements. For instance our club DG505 has two tail tanks - 'A' and 'B'. The 'A' tank is to compensate for the wing water as in the single. The 'B' tank is to compensate for the rear pilot. So the 'A' tank can be dumped but 'B' tank cannot - which is a shame because that implies that the rear pilot cannot be dumped either - ha ha. The singles are arranged so that tail empties faster than the wings so that there's no possibility of getting the C of G too far back. In con
