MMRCA - April 13, 2002

Photos and commentary by Andy Steere.

These are pictures from April 13th, 2002 when I went out to test fly my P-47. That didn't go all that well... but the gear problem is fixed and I'll try again tomorrow. I took a picture and some movies of John Fangohr's big Hellcat and his Diamond Dust.

MOVIE CLIPS

(Choose a format to view by clicking on one of the two links provided. The native format for the video camera (Olympus C-700UZ) is Apple Quicktime MOV. This version will produce the best picture and sound possible, but the file sizes are large. The Microsoft AVI files were converted using Lead Multimedia Converter and while much smaller... their image quality suffers (a lot on some movies, very little on others). If you have trouble viewing these by directly clicking on the link, try right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser. The MOV files require Apple Quicktime player or plugin, and the AVI files require Microsoft Windows Media Player or similar. The AVI files are converted using an Indeo video codec, if you have trouble viewing the video.)

This is the take-off of John Fangohr's big Hellcat.
320x240 - 15 seconds - (AVI 1.9MB) (MOV 4.2MB)
This is a fly-by of the Hellcat.
320x240 - 15 seconds - (AVI 0.8MB) (MOV 3.8MB)
This is a short clip of John's Diamond Dust. Powered by a piped OS 32SX. Another club member was running up his engine in the pits... and mostly covered up the sound from the dust.
320x240 - 5 seconds - (AVI 0.4MB) (MOV 1.2MB)
Second clip of John's Dust. That is Carl Johnson in the background commenting on how much quieter the 32SX is compared to the MVVS GRRT that powers our dusts.
320x240 - 15 seconds - (AVI 0.7MB) (MOV 3.9MB)

John's Dust coming in for a perfect landing.
