Witch Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I had a Mooney come straight at me once. He didn't even bank to get out of the way. It didn't look that close, maybe a couple hundred feet? Anyhow, did ya notice the strings? To the left? Later Quote

apiaguy Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 They're in a hover... or very close to it.... 0 airspeed... climbing 2-300 fpm... it was shot on purpose... a set-up. And the closure rate isn't very fast. Quote

And the closure rate isn't very fast. Huh...If they are in a hover how can they be climbing 2 - 300 fpm? Lord, what fools these mortals be! William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) Quote
Witch Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Um... they put a rocket motor under the fuselage and lit it? I can get a pretty good ascent rate with just me in there. Maybe there was only the pilot and she weighs 110 lbs? Maybe they put a bigger engine in it? I'm sure there's a good explanation. Later Quote
