I wouldn't imagine it's a parameter you account for in the air! And no... No speed brakes on any rolls, including the Barrel Roll Break.

I thought Beaker's "do tell" was to compare with others who've tried flying a Thunderbird demo. Nah. Just curiosity! My question was directed more at the duration of actual roll rather than smoke on/off, but I can see from your smoke on/off timing that you're dead-on parameters... good to hear! We'...

I've found that there are so many endless facets of the demo, at least for us, that it's pretty hard to say you've found a place where you can be complacent... and I've been going strong on the Blue Angels F/A-18 demonstration for 2 and a half years now. If you can't find something that you haven't ...

I'd debate that. If you're really flying a tight show, unless you don't have the minimum stick and rudder skills you should already have, it's more important to spend your time practicing your own show... building that muscle memory and repetitive skill set. A lot of it just comes down to repetition.

What did you formerly fly with? If it starts with S and ends with "aitek" I will just say I'm not surprised you're seeing immediate gains from the switch. Anything is better.

I'm not posting this to be argumentative or anything, and we're definitely drifting off the topic of the post again. Just explaining my thinking is all. No no, on the contrary, I think it's good discussion! I think I was in error by interpreting your post to mean you thought the F/A-18 was positive...

To expand on what LD said... Remember the F-16 is inherently unstable vs. the F-18, requiring the computer to keep it flying. To put it another way, as the BA diamond is cruising along with constant pull on the sticks the jets will pretty much respond in unison to any local changes/turbulence. The ...
