Ah gee I saw that the other day, thought the caption said it was a Mesa RJ...?

Yeah, I'll be interested to hear what happens in that department. Needless to say, we were all pretty excited to hear the Blues officers will be sticking around another year. It bodes well!

I wonder how they feel about selection with the current state of military demonstration teams in the US!

Oh sure, Ray, blame the equipment!

That was awesome. Solos rock!

Ah, yes. Koenigseggsegesgesgesgseggg.

What he means is... you're gonna need it! Kidding.

I think you might be jumping the gun with this many questions! 1) Study more videos! 2) A "hack" refers to the synchronization of stopwatches, nothing more. They anticipate crossing the "hack point" (as you call it) at 10 seconds into their timing. They fly the entire opposing maneuver profile using...

And no... but maybe it can detect micro newtons?

No doubt. The sensor step precision in the Hornet's stick is 12-bit, with a minimum digital stabilator command of 0.0083 degrees. (Further proof that the Warthog has just a silly number of precision steps! )

The really slick part about the real F-16 stick is that it deflects in a linear spring fashion up to the max sensible force. So it is both a force stick and a deflection stick at the same time. :) That's a strange way of phrasing what you're trying to say, because the Hornet's stick also has simple...

That said, force sticks are just fun. On the plus side, smoothness and pilot feedback were the reasons that the real F-16 force stick was given physical deflection and that this incarnation of the FSSB has built in deflection is exciting. That would be interesting! How much does the F-16 stick move...

It's the curse of the force-stick!

THAT'S where I knew it from! Good find.

Hey that's looking pretty cool! Nice job with the dash!
