Hey all,

Thought you would like to see some pics of the red bull air race from last weekend :D. It was great to be there and what was even better was getting home after the event to see the delayed telecast on TV to give you a pilots view of the manoeuvres! :wave:

As you can see it is a bit difficult capturing the action with a compact camera (really could’ve used a zoom lens!) but some of them turned out ok. Check out the to_drift one…..that plane was taking off with a cross wind and got so sideways that it was pointing its nose at me standing beside the runway while trying to fly straight :dry: !!

Enjoy,

Ant.

That red bull helicopter really hauled ass. The air race was cool but the highlight for me was definately the f/a-18. That thing was soo damn grunty, some guy said something about it having more power than all cars in an f1 race combined.

I got real drunk and real burnt in the sun, its was sweet :wave:

Hmm the "great pics" i took turned out to be not so great. Got some vids but cause of no zoom you really cant see much.

Thanks for the comments guys. Tell me about it boosty....my compact digi has a 5x optical zoom and the above pics were taken with the max zoom....even then they come out pretty small :)

Time to invest in a SLR me thinks :woot:

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
