http://ftp://69.56.198.2/Full%20Scale%20Flying/TOAD%20Flying%20AT6%20with%20NATG/The smaller file is just my flight, The second file has mine and my friends flight mixed together. So if you want the most of it take the large file, Nothing fancy in the editing, Its my first time at making a movie lots to learn. They are long movies 1 to 2 hours or so. I compressed them as small as I can to make them look as good as they do. They fill a DVD and then some for my personal quality. I need to edit more of the boring stuff out.
HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.
First thing is WOW!
Second Thing is Oleg has got it so close,Short the feeling of 'G-forces' in your body.
Third thing is this was my first flight ever to touch the real controls, and it was a WW2 bird to top things off.
http://www.natg.com and it was only my 4th time ever in my life to get in the air for real aswell. a couple of Cessnas and a Tubo props is all I've been in.
I made the mistake of drinking too many fluids today before the flight, due to the heat.
My guts felt like a garbage bag half full of sewage, after some agressive manuvers. The pilot said it didn't help my case none that it was so overcast and I couldn't see the Horizon either, not to mention the gusty winds.
I flew the left pattern while waiting for my friend Wess Daniel ex Military pilot from the 1950's to get airborn. Then the Pilot took over and executed the merge and formation flying. Then we seperated, and the Pilot made some text book simple manuvers. Then a loop. I then flew a Loop, I was told I done a very nice one, and then I had the pilot do some proper executions of a few manuvers, so I could try to mimic them. Sorry to say I got nausiated. So we flew level and open pit for fresh air. By the time I felt up to par again my ride was over and we were on approach.
I can only say is the 1/2 hour ride was too short. I f I had the cash and a couple or more hours of flight time. This plane and I could be close friends. The manuvers were made too close to each other and my body just didn't have time to cope with it.
We tried to cram too much into, too short of an amount of time. IL2 has taught me enough to fly, not sure about take off and landing, Since I wasn't allowed too thankfully,hehehe But if I was pressed into it, I actually think I could of done it.
The stick pressure was so smooth and so close to my setup for the game it was nuts!!!
Those of you that slap the stick around and do full throw of your stick are over exagerating the flight controls. Comparing it to this aircraft anyways.
I wish the video showed the sticks movement but it doesn't. Once I get my camera's tape merged with the planes footage. I'll upload it. I had a friends wife Donna film us from the ground with my camcorder. :roll: A non flyer, Elston, had a digi camera too with some more pics form today, I'll get them later this week.
See Ya in the Sky's !!!!!!
