My tuned 4th gen Subaru Legacy GT (2005) has occasionally hit the fuel cutoff in first gear, but it’s an automatic that’s not even in manual shift mode. If you get on the throttle hard it’ll forget to shift and go straight past the rev limiter and go into fuel cutoff which leaves you with no power until the rpm’s drop…

It’s like people that buy $10 “novelty” helmets with a fake DOT sticker. $10 helmet for a $10 head.

This kind of stuff happens all of the time in California. Lane splitting is legal here, I’ve watched people completely stuck in traffic, not moving at all, purposely swerve at every motorcycle passing by.

Last time a c-17 buzzed the local soccer fields at low levels, one of the pilot’s kid was playing, half the community especially the kids loved it, the other half freaked out.

The key is it has the power to make the maneuvers at 1g. No special modifications are necessary when you can keep it at 1g.

No discussion of the 53 can go one without the early video of the 53 doing rolls and loss.

One of the reasons not to buy it is Bell is horrible with spare parts for the legacy helicopters. If you don’t order parts months or years in advance, your aircraft will be grounded a lot.

All those at McClellan have cracked wing boxes as I’m told by people that were involved. The only one that got repaired was #22 which is currently at Keystone Heights Airport in Florida.

Red bull air race planes can take off is like 1/3 the length.

The story of the Aero Union P-3 is not correct. Their bankruptcy didn’t not force the cancellation of the Forest Service contract. It was the other way around. The change in management led them in the wrong direction and ended up cutting a lot of corners. Those aircrafts sitting on the ground are not airworthy. They…

Breaking a car the week before a SAE competition is very common. Just about every team has done that. I did Mini Baja and rolled the car the Saturday before the competition. Broke the frame, suspension, and drivetrain. We pulled an all nighter Sunday, drove like 200 miles back and forth to borrow tools, raw materials,…

He still got the car, so that’s a big fail.

I remember that commercial.

Toll is in the opposite direction. They just take a picture and send you the bill.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the development of the U-2 including why the F-104 was chosen. https://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks…

The loads were extremely high. The contracted Northrup engineers changed it to 17-4 without altering the shape, which was quick and easy. My company came in to make it, but ended up having to fix a production issue because someone at Rockwell modified the parts when they were first built.
