Jeff Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 That's what scares me when we are in the Corvette blasting down the road, oh yeah I KNOW every curve in the road, I just don't know what's around that curve..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 23, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 23, 2018 I had a bunch of Caribou run out on the runway in front of me once, just as I was getting ready to flare. Poured on the coal, went over them at 30ft maybe, came around again, no Caribou... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 well the one we picked up with the loader slid into the s/a most of it was kind of 'soup'.... if you know what I mean, it got creamed by a semi trailer loaded chip truck, ( super 'B') she was heavy....... yeah they tend to run when something is coming out of the air at them.. LOL I could just hear them... " Dan what the F......???.... RUN....." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a couple 2800s at full bark 30ft from your head will make a guy run... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Props full forward will get you that tip snarl. But it’s bloody loud inside. You pull them back as soon as 500ft rolls across the dial. Then instead of actually hurting, now it’s just stupid loud. Pull them back more for a cruise climb and it’s pretty darn sweet. In wartime, they’d push over 50 inches on takeoff. In civilian life, mid 40s was plenty.

Jeff Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is there a water injection on them as well or am I thinking of something else? I love that snarl.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm learning stuff, here, ok so the next thing..... with watching 'Ice Pilots' over the years, and yeah I know a lot of it is theatrics, BUT I am also under the impression that with that massive tail and large fuselage, she was a handful landing in a cross wind, like trying to land a big sail boat.... I also noticed, that the old bird could be a little temperamental..... overall...... maybe we should start another thread on the 46... I was trying to 'fly' one on FSX..... do you have any cool photos you'd care to share for my collection?? All very interesting stuff and you are the only 46 driver I 'know'....... so I guess that makes you 'special'.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expression you used and got PlasticDoc fired away got me baffled and wondering what it meant. No need to explain it to me, but if it was meant to be rude or vulgar, maybe there was another way to put things in perspective ? My apologies Hubert, I did not notice that this earlier post was directed to me. I meant no vulgarity earlier in this thread. I refer to this definition... So whether it's a Cornetto, or someone on a Forum who is put in their place by a Moderator, sometime you have no choice but to suck it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 8, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2018 “Suck it up, buttercup” is a common phrase here as well. The meaning definitely gets lost in translation and by region... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
