    I've always wanted the Zues 90mm and looking at the back-out shot of your airfield, I almost tossed my cookies! My word, what a magical looking airfield. Here in good OLD San Diego, we're lucky to get a landfill here or there to pitch off from. :) As always Chris, great flying, and I'm sure this bird is now in your hanger?

    First . Thank you for the best instructional videos out there.. And im share all our hearts go out to you over the B58! It seems as though All these manufacturers get fixated on certain model designs. Such as D model P51s and razorback P47s. I kitbashed a D model P51 into a B model. It flys /tracks better i think?! Now with ALL The razorback P47s I'm forced to D model one if i want it.. what's your take on this 😅

    Remember those from the movie “Failsafe”. Replaced by the FB-111 swing wing bomber. I remember they used them bomb Mumahr(Moo-Mar)Qaddafi in Libya during the eighties. He survived but he didn’t harass the U.S. Navy anymore. He died later at the hands of his own people whom he had oppressed.

  • @Anomic_Hunter202

    With this specific plane, do you apply significant rudder to slow-roll?

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek 4 дні тому

      It really depends. To perform a scale slow roll, you want to initiate a pitch up first which means that the roll has an arc to it with the entry and exit altitudes being the same. This doesn’t require much in the way of rudder to execute. However, if you’re trying to execute a perfect straight line slow roll with no arc to it, it requires a considerable amount of rudder to execute properly. The roll maneuvers I performed in the vid didn’t use much rudder at all.
