eraser_tr Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Last two....the member gallery creation isn't working for me, or I'd have put them there.
serverandenforcer Posted June 13, 2007 Author Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Model temporarily on hold due to working on a time demanding joint project with other modding members for this community. I hate doing this to you folks. You're all a great bunch. Btw eraser, those pics are of the X-35. The F-35 is totally different. Notice that the mains on the X-35 are placed under the intake manifolds. the F-35 has a bay that's underneath the main wing, next to the intake manifolds. Thanks though.

eraser_tr Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Yeah, well none of the F-35 pictures came out. Damn stealth aircraft....

Even if it's ready month's from now, who care's, you've made a great looking model, keep it up. When it's ready I'm sure it'll be a joy to fly.

Longestpants Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) This is one of the coolest things on CA I have seen in a long time, and I'm not just saying that. Great work on the model, it looks swell! Speaking of swell models, Wells, your toeing the line pretty good there, but it's a nice picture all the same. EDIT: Anyone have any newer info on this project? Is the creator deployed and if so anyone know his status? Two weeks. Edited October 25, 2007 by Longestpants
+Brain32 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 BTW, how is the Air Zoo doing? It has been a few years since I have been up there. Basically they have a contest who will make a bigger Spitfire shaped buttplug and stuff it deeper where the sun don't shine. Those that oppose to that idea are Luftwhiners.
+{FL}Hausser Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I want the redhead in the flight suit please. No way! I call dibs on her!!! Damn hot.... and a redhead to boot. She has the whole package.
+Dave Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Ahh yes. The famous two weeks reply. Haven't seen that in awhile. BTW, how is the Air Zoo doing? It has been a few years since I have been up there. Last time I talked to SD about the F-35, he was genning up to head back, IIRC, to the that place we all know and love......that has lots of sand and has taken 3,839 of my fellow military brothers and sisters lives......
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 hope everything is ok and that he comes back in one peace, I`ve got a friend in afghanistan... can this be a sticky?!
Jug Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Even if it's ready month's from now, who care's, you've made a great looking model, keep it up. When it's ready I'm sure it'll be a joy to fly. Ditto!
+Dave Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Ditto! Talked to him the other day. He is in California at home, going through an ORI. And those of us who have been through an ORI, more specifically a SAC ORI, I would rather be getting shot at.
+Spectre_USA Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 SAC ORI? Eee-ee! I have been in TAC ORI's, and they are gnarley enough. With the triple redundancy of SAC, I can only imagine...
sparkomatic Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 ORI sucks...I just returned from the damn desert and the ORE-EET was like no, that is not how you do it...it was funny what transpired next...but I will spare you the gory details...
+JediMaster Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah, ORI's do suck, but apparently AFSPC has the easiest as long as you're not a nuke wing.
jodandawg Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I want the redhead in the flight suit please. my daughter is a red head. i feel sorry for any enemy pilot that goes up against that pilot!
+CrimsonRoamer Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 ah what is that trouble of an engine sucking its own breath and dying out? The jet engine works by compressing and heating air as a working fluid, the heated air expands out in one direction and provides thrust right? The engines looses efficiency due to the smaller temperature gradient between the inlet gas and the combustion chamber, and this loss of thrust can be very serious for a Vtol, considering it has no aerodynamic lift. the same thing happened in the hot climate of Vietnam and Iraq, heavily loaded aircraft had a hard time getting into the air. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_cycle Likewise the reason aircraft cruise at high altitude (in addition the the reduced drag due to atmospheric density) is that at high altitude where the air is cold the temperature gradient is improved. Again, for the same reason some engines are fitted with water injection and pre-cooling (I knew that staying awake in Thermodynamics class would pay off)
+JediMaster Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Also, thermo aside an engine works by using oxygen in the air to combust the jet fuel. Jet exhaust is thus oxygen-poor, and being recirculated into the engine means less oxygen to burn the fuel so thrust drops, possibly enough to cause an engine flameout.
serverandenforcer Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 All right guys, I'm back from the ORI. We passed. Infact it was one of the smoothest ORIs for our wing ever. Lucky for me, I was part of the real world element for Security Forces. So all I had to do is sit in a SF truck at a hamerhead and watch DVDs.... uh, I meant parked aircraft. Now I can divert my full attention back to my hobbies here. Oh by the way, thanks to whoever made this a sticky. That's definatley a cool surprise to come back to from an ORI.
+HrntFixr Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Glad your back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now get to work!
+whiteknight06604 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Glad things went OK and good to see you back.
+SidDogg Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 for reel? We're up for an AMI in a couple weeks here....
