Nope,
The planes VNE is 55MPH, stall is 16mph-FLE 20mph-clean. I will have telemetry for airspeed and flight pack voltage. The tail will be sealed from air escaping so over pressure will be of no concern. I am more worried about the drag than will be induced by the doors that air creating a over pressure. Think about over pressure like this. If you have a air scope that does not have an opening you are only causing drag as once the air creates a bubble all other air just passes over, sure there is some pressure, but not much, but have a opening at the back of the scope and the pressure is much higher.

Thanks, DAG

Now that's funny right there I don't care who you are !!!!

My B-36D will have at least the Commander, Captain, and Copilot.

The real one had a crew of 15-17, but I hoped to have some looking out the blisters, but not a crew of 15, but we will see where my weight ends up.

Thanks, DAG

So your crew will consist of Will Farrell clones? I'm sure there are a few Barbies at your house that you can throw in there!

Those doors are awsome!

Last nights work,
This bomb bay system feels like the hardest system on the plane to design and build, every part has to fit 99% perfect.

Dag the project is just WOW, Wow and Wow. Huba huba.
Will it carry any recording devices, like a video cameras etc.

Baj

Chris Puckett · 01-15-2010, 03:18 PM

Dag I am sure you have someone lined up but if you need help getting it waivered let me know. I am more than happy to head over and help get you all taken care of.

It is being designed with telemetry for airspeed and flight pack battery voltage. If weight allows I will have all kinds of places to stick a video camera.

Thanks, DAG

Thanks Chris,
I have a inspector kind of close that I have been working with. So for now I think I am covered, but if things change I will take you up on that.

Thanks a ton, DAG
