Ar234 and deck speed
« on: March 09, 2001, 06:51:00 PM »
I've got a film to stick up later but GEEEWEEEZE! With both the outter wing panels knocked off the 234 will nearly pass it's structural limits in level flight.

I was chugging along at 450 indicated after accelerating for 1 min from take off with the RATO still attached, lit them up at 500 feet and shot past 500 mph level.

Some serious drag issues there

Sounds like the planes in B-17 II..
slams the wings on the ground so those gets damaged and then can speed over 530mph. (even more, but after 530mph, plane gets dangerously nose heavy)
