Ki-84's Most Absurd Feature

[RedBull1]

Back on topic of the Ki-84. Spectacular aircraft that has an .. interesting... flutter issue which doesn't seem to be specifically recorded anywhere IRL (from what I've seen personally).

I've flown the Ki a little (nothing compared to Ink or nrshida) and made a personal note: Don't get the Ki over 400.. The Ki feels like a spit/K4 hybrid that excels at low speeds (like the spit and k4) but dislikes high speed to a much greater degree than the spit and k4.

I was usually too low and surrounded by too many red guys to get fast enough to rip things off, but it did happen a few times

It certainly doesn't feel right to always lose both ailerons/elevators simultaneously at exactly X speed with Y  G-load on cue ... every time

the newer models of the mossie and hurricane,  the A20 when loaded in a steep dive all do this.   

I'd find it pretty hard to rip the wings off anything else at speed.   Maybe it is just my stick settings.

Well... The Viking sword thread I started apparently insulted your Katana or something and you threw a hissy fit; no biggie. In both the Glock thread and F-35 thread my opinions were in line with many other participants of those discussions. Usually these other individuals were actual gun owners (people like me who have actually owned and shot a Glock), and people actually in the know with regard to the F-35 program (including a USAF crew chief and a fighter pilot (maybe even two if I remember correctly)). I guess all us "trolls" whose opinions differ from yours (and who don't argue from a position of ignorance, unlike you) are just out to "impose" our opinions on you. Poor downtrodden you.  

Yes you are absolutely right about everything. You win. Everybody should certainly listen to you and no one should dare forward an opinion which doesn't agree with the marketing spiel, err I mean your well-formed and considered opinion. I do apologize for daring to speak in your presence.

Carry on

Oh, hardly. I've been wrong countless times, and when convinced of the fact I admit to being wrong. If the search function is working properly a search for "my mistake", "my bad" or similar phrases will turn up a good deal of my posts. Unlike you I don't consider a differing opinion an affront to my person, and I welcome a reasoned debate.

Yup for sure, you are the most reasonable, respectful and civil person on this forum, who would never start casting personal insults because the other person wouldn't do things your way or go along with you. Like you did in this thread. Whoops, did I say that or just think it.

Let's just ignore each other shall we. That would suit me.

Now that Shida and I are done with our little purse fight, and have moved on to giving each other the silent treatment... Ink, how did the test dive go with neutral trim?

but I am interested in that sword thread I somehow missed

and cant find to resurrect

[GScholz]

I don't think you missed it. It was the one with the video of a French blacksmith making a Viking sword.

Too bad the videos are no longer available.

damn see how bad my short term memory is


love the Viking swords.....Love the Katana swords......

I think its funny people I talk to about swords...especially the ones who own "wall hangers" that weigh 15 lbs.....Blade is made from stainless steel......of course me being me have to clue them in.....

ahhh dude a real deal sword only weighs about 3-4 lbs....hell William Wallace's sword that friggen Giant one only weighs about 4 and a half pounds....

[GScholz]

Yeah, some people seems to think a knight was carrying around hundreds of pounds of gear and armor, and if he fell he needed a bunch of guys to help him get back up.

blame the history channel for that.

I own a broad sword.  It is about 3.5lbs.

15lbs would be stupid.  You couldn't wield that.

I think people see images of the jousting armor or the late armor meant to deal with early guns where the knight had to be hoisted onto his horse and think that is what medieval battle armor was like.  Samurai armor is fairly light for its strength.

yup the Katana in my sig was 2.9 lbs.......a giant broad sword I had was a whopping 4.5 lbs

Katana was a fine weapon for killing someone wearing a pajama. Large broadswords usually met either proper armor or very thick clothing/furs and a bit more oomph was needed.
