I tried everything shooting high and shooting low and even in hte middle.  At 400+ you cant hit crap with teh 109's guns or FW's, cept the A8.  I agree with Raub the guns are fubar.  The only one with which I can have any kind of success is the F4.  But a lot of times it is just guessing where they are going to drop off to.  One other thing do the 131's seem to fire a lil slower then they should?

"I am mad club" or "stick up my ass" doesn't exist.

Do I need to place smileys in my post to transfer my current state of mind when I post? I wasn't "mad" or having a fit of "persecution complex". Nothing was about me, the test was clearly inaccurate and therefore what it wasn't showing anything was wrong.

Raub came back and stated "see this is why I never test anything...", that sure seemed to me like "Hey, I don't test anything because there's too many people here that will prove it wrong."

If it's wrong, it's wrong. Am I right or am I wrong?
If you two think I was posting in angst, I wasn't. Perhaps you two need a "chill pill".

 Fishu, I wish I could. Nobody seems to be willing to fly real streight and level for me. Anybody willing to "volunteer" please let me know. I need all the help I can get. Oh...WHERE should my convergence be set?

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Testing is good.  However, that particular one is very easily influenced by the placement of the camera.

We need to come up with some other way to test this, possibly by finding some hangar or something that is a specific distance from a marked position.  Hmmm.  I'll poke around in the TA this weekend and see if I can't come up with something.  Still, it's going to be very difficult to take minimize the camera position's effect on the results.

The whole purpose of the "Scientific Method", where you establish a testing method, conduct the test, and publish your results for peer review, is so any potential errors are found and can be discussed.  

If an error is found, then the so called "proof", isn't really "proof", and you have to go back to the drawing board. It doesn't mean you're theory was necessarily wrong, it just means that the data isn't valid.

In other words, this is the whole reason we discuss this issues. Don't get upset if someone doesn't agree with your test method.

think you guys are a little tight about this game in general.

This is not a flame, I am wondering:
It looks like only the convergence/divergence of the tracers is being tested here.  That makes the assumption that the rest of the shells are following the same paths.  Are there any tests or methods for seeing where all of the shells hit at the harmonization range where the test is repeatable from plane to plane?

Not unless they model a jack so we can level the plane on the ground and shoot it at a target.
