Thruster87 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Watching Top Gear launch a rocket the other night sparked a thought :idea:of why isn't anyone doing this sort of testing of RAA aircraft. Start your own TV series and make a Million Bucks!!!!!
Guest ozzie Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 If you tried to launch it like they did with that car. the dept would drag it all out to woomera and nail you to it.:big_grin: i know were you are coming from. good idea but i don't think the manufacturers of aircraft would risk having someone approaching it like the Top Gear team do. If you can pull it off can i be 'The Stig'.
Guest J430 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I am The STIG And I have the sticker to prove it!;)
Guest Redair Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Is this going to get like Sparticus? Everyone claiming to be "The Stig"? Redair... I am The Stig!
Mazda Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I reckon The Stig is David Brabham. Personally if I had to get someone to do flight tests I'd use a test pilot!
slartibartfast Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I'm the Stig, and so's my wife. What the hell is a Stig?
Guest airsick Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 You'll never know 'what' the Stig is. All we know is: Raw meat is the Stig's favorite food. He is terrified of bats. His sweat can be used to clean precious metals. His skin has the texture of dolphins. If you tune your radio to 88.4 you can actually hear his thoughts. He does not see like humans do, instead he sees numbers in green scrolling down. He forages for wolves at night. He once punched a horse to the ground. His politics are terrifying. He lives in a tree. His favourite philosopher is Immanuel Kant He has no understanding of clouds. His earwax tastes like Turkish Delight. He is confused by stairs. He can accumbularate. There's an airport in Russia named after him. He is wanted by the CIA. His breath smells of magnesium. He can catch fish with his tongue. His tears are adhesive. If set alight, he'd burn for a thousand days. He is scared of ducks.
eyecast Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 It's Unanomous the Stig is Anonomous just like a lot on this forum. ARRRRR WERRRR ALLLL STIGGGGGG eyestigcast :black_eye:;););););):black_eye:
Yenn Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Anon he may be but not a mouse. He is no faster than me on a tractor, and the rest of the crew made a good mess of preparing for rape.
TechMan Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I can issue you with Stig authority. Simply fill in the application form to become a Stig, along with 3 references by 3 individual Stigs who can vouch for your becoming a Stig and send it to Top Gear. Won't make you fly any better...but you never know. :) (I can see images of two Stigs squeezed into a Jab LSA55 complete with burn suits and helmets)
Mazda Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 TechMan, do you blame anyone for wanting burn suits and helmets when flying a Jab?!!!! :devil:
Downunder Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 The Stig could be Barry Dawson's brother? http://barrydawson.com.au http://www.myspace.com/barrythecougar :smiley4:
