Kuulemma tästä paikasta tulee vakiopaikka tietyin väliajoin. Joten varmaan parin vuoden päästä uudestaan. Onneksi asun n.3km päässä :)

@rudi270274 I can only figure that he was trying to get as much down force on the tail as possible.

Anyone notice how incredibly shor those takeoff roles were? wow!

[stuntmanmike37]

@frizstyler Right. I guess that thing is so damn powerful it didn't matter that much.

[frizstyler]

@stuntmanmike37 i meant it would be reasonable to bring it up ONLY in the moment of rotation in order for the back to be pushed down more easily, but not in the whole takeoff

[stuntmanmike37]

@frizstyler But he did have it up when he rotated.

[frizstyler]

@stuntmanmike37 that would only be reasonable in the moment of rotation,not here

@rudi270274 I think (i'm not sure) its for help the aircraft to pitch up cause the airbreak its over the aircraft and act like airbreak and make the aircraft pull up, anyway with afterburner and hight alpha on take off (less wind touch it) the airbreak don't...break much.

But i'm not sure that just look logic for me...

[rudi270274]

Taking off with an speedbreak???
