I’ve seen Kermit Week’s Storch fly. VERY COOL!!! IIRC, a few months after that, he had the engine seize up in flight so he just gently put it down. Not sure if it has flown since.
The other part of saving .jpg file to make them smaller aside from reducing resolution is the compression. When you save a jpg and it asks for your compression, the smaller the number the smaller it makes the file (as well as making the file crunchier and crunchier) the higher the number, the better the quality of the saved file and thus the bigger the file size.
Nixe shots! Love the paint job with the engine showing. Whose A/C was that? Been watching the races on the TV, don’t recall seeing that one, at least not up close.
An odd thought crossed my mind. If the A/C is being used to tow target drogues, might this change the balance of the A/C and necessitate some ballasting somewhere? I’ve never heard of water ballasting tires, but have heard of weights being added to aircraft to balance out their flight dynamics. Anyone know how a towed drogue might affect flight characteristics? Depends on what aircraft and where tow cable is attached?
Watson’s Wizzers strike again! How many of the rare birds that he and his team brought back eventually made it to museums? I think that whole operation would make a good movie!
