That seems...dangerous
I can imagine the pilot fighting the control to bring it back under control only to have it all ripped out of his hands as hes fire involuntarily out the bay windows.

Re: F-35B pilot punches out after bad landing
Just watched an interesting little video speculating that when the aircraft touched down, the vanes over the lift fan closed to prevent it from lifting off again, but because it bounced the main engine thought it was still flying so throttled up automatically. Yay computers. https://youtu.be/S_3jSVR...

Re: F-35B pilot punches out after bad landing
I was reading something over the weekend saying this particular aircraft hadnt been released to the military yet? It was still in possession of Lockheed Martin undergoing its final hover tests.

Re: F-35B pilot punches out after bad landing
Ok aircraft seems to descend smoothly, once on the ground it starts to pick up then violently pitches forward. Pilot error or mechanical fault? Its possible he was training and panicked so punched out? First solo flight in the F-35? Its easy to look at something from the outside and go Öh he should ...

Re: The New American Ekranoplan???
The design looks like it walked out of the 60's
The company name "General Atomics" sounds like it walked out of the fallout universe.
Just go grab the russian one off its beach. It doesnt look like theyre watching it.

Mental health took a blow as i was fighting with my girlfriend at the same time. And then to top it ...

Re: Joe's 1/48 Monogram OS2U Kingfisher
3D printed parts??? Nice ! Right??!! It's the only way I would've started one of these. For years I wished that another manufacturer would've released this aircraft in 1/48 scale but this right here is the next best thing. I'll need some help along the way to keep from stuffing a blown small black ...

Re: Internet Hobby Scammers
My usual first step is go to hannants. If i cant find it there ill do some googling. I'm usually really cautious and wary of any online shops.
If i cant find it through my normal channels and nobody on here knows where, then i go to my LHS and get them to order it in for me.
