Title: Encounters of the ACM hobbyist - possible video series
Post by: nrshida on January 11, 2023, 03:02:59 AM
I don't know if there's any interest or if it's helpful to some. Was asked about what we commonly call 'reversals' so uploaded a few examples. Maybe more to follow.

Nice shot. I tend to start my reversals further out.

Thanks. I almost have 6 subscribers already and am thinking of becoming an influencer. Today, a new video will drop (as the millennial say) featuring an entirely unnecessary high-risk fight in a G14 on the deck against a well-flown F6F. :banana:

Nah there's no way I can match your fantastic camera angles and cinematography. These are just elaborate ahf files really.

New video today which I hope shows some practical application of that oft-talked about one-circle & two-circle fight business.
I hope the quality is okay. HD somehow presently eludes me.
Happy Friday :banana:

Thanks.
Hard to gauge what people are interested in. So far the one with the highest how-to theme has been the most popular. Not that trying to be popular is any sort of valuable activity :old:

You were already a newt bud, I just declined to kiss you and turn you back into a prince :neener:

Here are some from that day we were playing over the channel and fighting gravity as much as each other with 60 knot stalls 500 feet high. We were holding off front quarter shots and trying to either get 6 shots or fly each other into the water.
the titles are self-explanatory. stig was with us that day and I included one of his films where he was basically flying circles around me but ate the deck to my fortune.
Thanks. Hard to gauge what people are interested in.

Epic session! I might have the counterparts to some of these films. May I have permission to make a YouTube video showing both perspectives Shane? :banana:

Feel free to do whatever with any films I post. I have a few others from that time frame as well.

Is this the day you ordered me to assassinate Kongyuk to stop him picking TheStig? :rofl

It was Kluski, and yes it was. I was just looking at that film. I peeled off and let Stig kill him while you were in area, then I re-committed to Stig while you ran off to go kill Kluski as he re-upped. In that meantime, Stig and I had a 6 min engagement of rolling scissors; you got Kluski at the 2:10 mark of the film.

What a magnificent dance. I could never be so majestic.

The first is a P51-d v Ki-84 rate fight that has a bit of everything. I eventually lost as it ended up in a flat turn on the deck - I didn't have the e I needed to try and pull a vertical stall loop back down on the flat turning opponent (which can be a high risk/reward move.)
The second is a La5 v Ki-84. I was using roll to cut into the Ki's turning until I lost angles (thx slats! lol) and had to reset at the 1:10 mark. Diving out, the Ki was catching up, giving me little choice but to reverse and engage. I got a few hits in. Around the 2:45 mark, they made the unfortunate decision to go vertical, hoping to stall me out. The la5 has more power than a P-51d, so I was able to hang on and nose up for the shot.
