skymedic 0 #1 December 14, 2001 As a few of you know I have a perfectly good 1952 beach T-34 with 285 HP engine at my disposal at times....I have a friend that owns one also. My buddy said he would fly if I wanted to do a jump from the thing....now question is.....HOW??we figured we can take off the rear canopy. we do this all the time for the team when filming formation stuff...this isnt a bid deal....the question I want to know is how should I exit....I think going inverted will be the best bet....but was wondering if anyone here did the inverted T-6 rides at Quincy this past summer...as I am curious how they did it....thanks for your comments....MarcRes Firma Mitescere Nescite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indyz 1 #4 December 14, 2001 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the vertical and horizontal stabilizers refer to the orientation of the stab, not the direction that it stabilizes the plane.--Brian"The sky is lovely, dark and deep.But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I pull" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #6 December 14, 2001 "I give up i am no longer sane and i no longer care."That seems painfully obvious!No the vertical stab is pointed towards the sky when the plane is upright.
