OME, thanks for your idea,s that spirit level is almost the same as old navigators used for taking star-site fixes..
I was questioning "stall" and angle of attack, surely it differs for greater speed over the wing.
Even F111,s don,t stall at maximum velocity when gaining altitude? .
I could be wrong. But all those rockets don,t seem to have a stall speed UNTILL spent.

LOW temperature.
Just read about Canadian Hummel Birds, nice day, temp 50 f ( 15 c ).
I would need a Heater in cockpit, not airvents. LoL
My last flight training day it was a 40 c at the Oaks.

I Did say "near vertical " as I don,t think they did vertica takeoff.
But very steep up to target, then power off to turn downwards for another shot at their target, and glide back to base.

Hirth,s Heavy fuel, made me of Nuclear!
Is jet fuel cheaper than gasoline? .

Exerllent idea !.
BUT if the angle is near vertical, and your Big powerful motor, keeps your speed greater the the stall speed of said " rocket ",
Would you still stall ?.
German " Komet " rocket plane in mind.

Correction to my Rant ?.
I did sell my first car.
the new owner came back a couple of months late, claiming he was charged with " steering-track-rod-end & a ball joint ", for it's WOF (PINK-SLIP ) after getting under the car, I found he'd been ripped of.
So I called the cops, and that garage lost its WOF licence,
The new owner wasn.t even pleased.

Surely.
That would have to depend on What Were & How you aquire those toys.
I built a Dingy, second hand materials, cost $ 10 or there ABOUTs.
I built a Larg ocean going yatch, mostly second hand, plus hand me downs.outlay less than $30,000.
I built 1.& a half aluminium aircraft, cost (shuush don,t tell, the wife thinks it,s free )
Training ( FAILED ), less than $ 5,000.
On going cost $20 ish a month for fuel AND my dream sits awaiting for it,s freedom to Soar like an eagle.
Cheaper than a car that cost $20,000, and $thousands a year in statitory fees, and thats just to park beside my Dream Bird.
AND I,ve never Sold anything. Always give them away.
PS: THE ENJOYMENT IS WORTH hundreds of thousands more than just watching others do their thing !.

Thanks,
But it,s just another thing turned on it,s head from training.
, like rudder pedal being like soapbox trolly, ( opposite actually ),
Icing caused by moisture ( without temprture ).
A few that made it harder to learn aviation.
Have tried since the age of fifteen, when I joined the Old AirTrainingCorpse.
Still have the same dream.

It,s less than many, ( primer/undercoat/fillercoat/topcoat, and clearcoat. ) coats of paint.
ALSO
on many you don,t have to cover the entire area,.
If your gelcoat comes out of the mold, a shitti green color,adding streamers of contrsting vinyl will hide a hidious image.

SO
Ailerons Start the co-ordenated turn, ( one wing higher ), The elevator seconds it.
THEN,
the rudder stops nauseating the passenger?.
Nothing to help turning the aircraft. LoL
Ending Uncoordinated.
Thars why I Failed my exam,s.

NOT ALL " paint schemes " are paint !.
Vinyl transfers are looking good and can be removed for another " look " at a later date, or owner.

But,!.
You wouldn,t need most of the 3,000 dyno hp.
Or that massive RPM,
Depowered will definitely last a lot longer, but a drag car only needs 10 seconds of power, and doesn't even have a radiator.
As drag car,s go, Sainty lasts much longer than most of their competitors, befor it goes in the bin.

Gas Guzzlers have nothing on the drinking habits of a Sainty motor at full throttle.

Anyone thinking of buying a new aircraft from overseas?

A successful farmer AND exporter don,t do much for our Domestic market, only to give us second grade overpriced products.
Look at those crayfish !, I refused to buy one at any price, when they couldn,t get their overseas market, they expect our domestic consumer to
Fill their bank account.
