*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi Phantom, It's not really a good idea to use the rudders at all in a dogfight, at 500 knt's it would'nt be much use really and if it did move it would only create a little more drag and slow you down further meaning loss of important energy that you could have used to pull another manuver and thus save your ass. At ...

*** Posted by sgtphantom *** [Hi Like I said, unlike any other aircraft you don't use rudder in slow speed dogfight in the F16. As a matter of fact the rudder can't be used in slow speed, high AOA flights. The computer simply locks it out so it doesn't move above a certain AOA. run The reason i use the rudders is so i can maneuver better at ...

*** Posted by Phantom *** The reason i use the rudders is so i can maneuver better at slow speeds. Once you start maneuvering for a kill at short ranges, the jet will idle down to 150 knots allowing the use of the rudders, but like i said before i can't use them. It seems that the only time it allows me to use them is when i am landing or like ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi Phantom What are you using rudders for ? In the F16 you just use the pedals when you are taxiing on ground ;o) run [Quick question. Lets say i am flying at 500 knts doing head on BFM, if i perfprm a slice to either side, cam rudders enguage due to loss of energy? If so, i cannot. I dont know if it because i am pulling ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi Kim You are right, and I should probably write that as a comment in the store. The DVD's have the same problem. What you probably didn't know is that 90% of the people looking at my page are americans, so most guys costumers are good to go.

*** Posted by Kim Nielsen *** Have just noticed the apperance of the aviation shop on the site (wonder for how long it have been there?)! According to the Video-part of this shopping possibility, I would like to warn against videos from USA, wich is in a non-european formate! Check up about any american deleverer can supply in the european ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi Kim, What an amazing story! I hope that guy was ok. I felt a bit sorry for him but there is a humorous side of it as well. Regards Rapier
