Title: The P38 Hammer Head
Post by: Mugzeee on June 12, 2004, 01:22:15 PM: I would like to see some film of your best hammer head in the AH2 P38. I do hammer heads all the time with my RC Aircraft in patteren flying.. But im not sure what this hammer head in AH P38 looks like. I cant seem to perform a perfect hammer in AH Aircraft. Its probably a heck of a lot harder in the cockpit than it is from outside the Plane.
A breif discription would be ok too.
Thanks . Its Hammer Time. :)

You can send them here if you like,

Post by: Citabria on June 12, 2004, 02:25:31 PM: the Flight model in below stall speed maneuvers is not accurate.

real planes hammerhead the way your rc planes do

iv hammered everthing from a piper aztec a t6 texan pitts s2c, citabria, cessnas all that crap.

so i dont buy the "its cuz of torque excuse because they still dont hammer at low throttle the way real planes do.

It won't play in AH1 and I can't open film in AH2, it's disabled.

Thanks Pyro.
Poop the AH2 film viewer is working. Although it keeps craching for me on some films. Could be early beta film's that didnt get clean record i guess?
Pretty nice Hammer Pyro. Flaps? And i thought it was interesting that you Yawed Right at near the apex then snaped the rudders Left immediatly after. Is this intentional and or needed to get good rotation in AH P38? Or was that the sloppy part? :)

Lol Mugz,
I was reviewing a film from beta patch 36, I fast forward cause film was nearly an hr long, when I got to this one spot, thought "I never bailed?" so I rewind, a bit, as I watched my pilot drifting to earth, I said "WOW" AH2 has modeled flaring in the chute etc.....I was able to turn in different directions, I looked up saw no chute. (rewind some more)
"WOW" I am taking off like superman, I am flying around ( like a pilot in his chute) but there is no chute, I come up on a 109, see tracers coming from the sides of me, awesome! I shot him down, flew around some more shot 4 more down and landed my body on the deck! :rofl :rofl I was twisting and turning climbing and diving, is a site to see

I am trying to review again it so I can cut the film down and post it if it'll take , is a FUNNY site!:rofl :lol :rofl

Heck found a couple of films I recorded a few weeks ago.

BTW looked like a hammerhead to me.

Can you do a tail slide to a whip stall. Haven't tried one. That was the best of the old, old WB days. Programmers name is vaguely familier :D
