Title: spit rips wings at 420 mph in high alt dive
Post by: eye on June 22, 2000, 10:20:00 PM

What i said above needs to be changed. If you dive from 30k to 25k and have 420 mph you rip wings this is not right. Please fix. This is in the mk 9 spit.

Ok this is the 4th death for me in 2 days because of this little gem. I trim out gentlty and bang wing rips. I have never read about this ever. All of my dives have been at a gentile angle too. Going for guys half a sector away. Why does it freeze at 420 to start? Seem some one blew it on the mk 9 spit.
Im very frustrated EYE
P.S> the spit had good wings it was not a japanese plane!

OK here's a fix for the above problem. In the dive if controls freeze .
1 Throttle back.
2 Turn off motor
3 Tap k key 2 times If you hold it down like i was you will rip a wing.
This happens when you dive from alts 25k or above. Controls freeze even if you are in trim throttled back.
Also there is a prob with the auto climb. You cant get it to climb at a other speed than default one.

You forgot to mention that you were trimming up during the dive. No wonder it lost its wings.

425mph IAS at 25k 600+ mph TAS.  Goodbye wings.

At that altitude, you should have heard a sonic boom, since at that altitude, your mach number was approx. 1.2.
