In Response To: Re: Pelican flying in the Pacific (Bry) Thanks, I'm glad y'all liked it. As for the "J-turn", probably...I just fly how I need to get to where I'm going! :-) ~ Mid7night : You're airmanship is spot on - for a fighter. :) : I think any marine passengers might be a little unhappy with the vertical : climbout. That was practically an Immelmann, lol. : Though I do imagine though that Pelican pilots would like to show off their : high speed NOE capabilities when the back is empty. It would have too much : power not to, especially in the CAS role they also seem to perform. : Its closest real-life equivalent is probably the Russian Mi-24 Hind in terms : of an armed troop carrier. : Was that a J-Turn I caught myself seeing towards the end? : Anyway, on a more serious note here, have you tried playing about with the : Pelican in a STOL role? : Ever since I noticed what appears to be Russian-esque FOD-guards on the : landing gear, I've considered it possible that when the facilities allow, : it would be preferred for the Pelican to perform rolling vertical take-off : and landings for the sake of engine wear, fuel consumption etc. : The boring bean counting side of the UNSC, like any other military : organisation. : A lot like the Harrier really. : Where's that demonstration video I uploaded a few months ago... Ah, yush. : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=inTaviv-m3o&fmt=6 : On the more powerful Harrier II models, with their much larger wing, you can : probably lower the target airspeed from 90KIAS to 60 or 70.
