You mean this Su-33 Flanker D (the carrier variant with extra stabilators for SLOW SPEED CONTROL ON LANDING)? Video Clip – Su-33 missed landing on carrier Still not high AOA in combat and still not an Su-27. Its pretty clear the fanbois don't know about their fave planes

Dear Eastern Bloc Fanbois. You know who you are, The Su-35 and the F-35 are both capable of Vectored-In-Forward-Flight (VIFF) thrust and both are capable of controlled slow speed flight beyond 90 degrees AOA. This is already well documented. This can only happen when the flight envelope protection is turned off and it is only turned off for flight tests and slow speed display flight. Flight envelope protection exists to stop the plane from coming apart during combat manoeuvers. Again, what is the max AOA of the Su-27 or would you like to answer a question with a question like the other fanboi. Extra points for replying first

In my post May 7 2016 here During the same discussion he noted he expected that the validation up to 50 degrees AOA, while it would take some time, they would get there eventually it was just a matter of safely increasing the limitations in the software until a physical controllability limit was reached (and in my opinion not breaking the plane or killing someone). Also when that limit is finally reached I expect it will be classified. My opinion is that stuff written about any military development which is still underway will rapidly become out-of-date and therefore quotably incorrect. Quote all the stuff you want, quote away I say!. Anyone want to guess what the max AOA of the Su-27 (allegedly the world's most manoeuvrable fighter) actually is? Hint: its not 40 degrees. Marty_d, how about you?

Which target?

SU-25 cannon: Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2 with 250 rounds of 30x165mm (8-ish seconds of continuous fire) SU-30 cannon: Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 with 150 rounds of 30x165mm (6-ish seconds of continuous fire) SU-35 cannon: Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 with 150 rounds of 30x165mm (6-ish seconds of continuous fire) F-35 cannon: General Dynamics GAU-22/A (Internal for A model, B and C model are external) with 180 rounds of 25x137mm (6-ish seconds of continuous fire) F-4 cannon: General Electric M61A1 with 640 rounds of 20x102mm (6-ish seconds of continuous fire) I dunno, did I miss something? Seems that the Su-35 with its one barrel gun and the F-35 with its 4-barrel gun aren't meant to be seriously shooting at anything in the air, but the F-4 was and Su-25 is. Is it ok that we all agree the F-35 has a cannon and its much the same as the one in the Su-35?

Good. Well spotted. Question everything

"Rum" would be one answer

RPL = Passed class 2 medical at least once PPL = Passed class 2 or 1 medical in last 2 years

Try putting a drifter motor in a CBX. That would be something interesting

The closet is where the good stuff is stashed. Try it...

Slightly off topic but the electric motor thingy doesn't begin with the weight or specific power of the motor. A 5KWh LiFePo battery and controller would be about 70-100Kg depending on the terminal voltage required. Regardless of everything else that would get you about six (6) minutes of full power, solo climb. Batteries ~$1500 Controller ~$1000 Motor (Curtiss AC-12 with accessories) $3K for 37 HP continuous That's a lot of petrol even after a replacement 582 Blue top is considerd

Same place you buy the really long three phase cable you are going to run from your house to power the motor

Has anyone figured out how to get X-Plane or other simulator AI traffic to appear on OzRunways? I am led to believe this is a(n undocumented) feature but I may have miss-understood. If not, I might try outputting sbs 1 message format to port 30003 and see if that works.

As far as CASA exemption are concerned they are quite specific. The exemptions for RA-Aus cover the AIRCRAFT until CASR103 and CASR149 become law. Part 61 covers licences, which the recreational aviation certificate is not. For each SASAO such as RA-Aus, for issues such as medical fitness and recency the relevant operations manual is the official guide. All pilots still need to reference the AIP (all of it) so we are all "flying right" and doing things like giving way to balloons and landing aircraft. What this also means is that CASA can't relieve an RA-Aus certificate holder of their flying privileges. CASA can initiate actions against certificate holders for Darwinian stupidity like flying drunk, flying too low over a festival, maintenance fraud and hurling abuse over the radio. Does CAR166 apply to 10- and 19- registered aircraft and their pilots? Not all of it, because this regulation covers use of radios and other procedures at certified non-towered aerodromes which home built, experimental and low performance aircraft are not expected to use at the same time as RPT aircraft. Should you use a radio elsewhere if you have one? Up to you but read the regulations. RA-Aus syllabus teaches the same circuit join procedures as appears in CAR166. This is not a co-incidence. In this way certificate holders shall meet the regulation requirement. CASA tend not to prosecute SASAO certificate holders because when they violate the regulations, death often gets in first.

It's not the aircraft landings that count. It's the pilot flying at the time. On pilot can perform the take off and a different one can do the landings. You would need dual controls of course. Otherwise, yes nobody has lost a plane "up there" yet.
