NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

To add to that this is a sad news for Military Aviation... Sure the FA18 is a great aircraft but will nothing will ever come close to the abilities of the F14-A Tomcat...

I stand at attention and solute with a Moment of Silence in Memory of the Tomcat!!!

:sad:

Yes - I read this last week and felt a well of emotion similar to when you hear the 'Goose is dead' music ;)

But - considering the F14A was deisgned in the late '60s, it's probably time the old girl retired - much like Viper. And screw FA18s - I think they should just get a fleet of Mig-28s - afterall, they can do a 4G negative pushover despite having inverted flight tanks.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

From prep to year 10 I wanted to be a fighter pilot becuse of two things:

1.) Robotech their cartoon's in the form of planes were a derivitive of tomcats...

2.) Topgun/tomcats...

tomcats were/are my all time favourite plane... back in the day I actually wanted to migrate to the US just so I could have a chance of flying one... quite stupid really.. but sad none the less... ;):(:(

hahaha, robotech kicks ass! I wanted to be a pilot, but I wear contacts... so I did robotics at uni instead, I'll build a veritech yet :whoops:

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
