Zzzzzoom in Zzzzzero Gravity
This round apparently goes to Zoom.
Whether through guile, bluster, bluff ...or genuine journalistic stick-to-itiveness, Zoom was the we were not. He deserves an "atta boy." A question: What are his ANN numbers? Also: What do those numbers mean? Mont-black-hole |

A question: What are his ANN numbers? Also: What do those numbers mean? He may have been there but something he wrote in his article about the flight might have given it away. He said some people paid to observe the flight .I bet he bought his way on because if he was part of the crew I'm sure he would have worn a neat jump suit like the real crew members. I noticed that none of the photos in flight were credited to him so I doubt he was the official photographer. I bet it was guile,bluster, bluff and money for a ticket that got zoom there :-) But he'll never get an atta boy from me ...He's still a phoney . Another thing he said was he'll be test flying a rocket plane in the near future ....Wanna bet?? LOL!!! Chuck S RAH-14/1 ret |

" The Natter was a little cramped for yours truly but once airborne I really rung it out and I didn't notice that my rather large empennage was hitting the cabin sides. But that helped with high G maneuvers. I started with some basic loops ,rolls and inverted flat spins and found the Natter to be extremely sensitive but delightfully obedient having a close coupled phugoid with yaw separation in roll harmonizing the damping of the linear but slightly increasing stick pressures. At about positive 10 g's while supersonic it exhibited a slight mach tuck which went away at 10.5 g's I didn't explore negative g past 9 because I had a large breakfast and was mildly to slightly uncomfortable. It was really fun to fly especially when I fired ALL those rockets YIPES what a BLAST!! Landing was a slight challenge with a 40 knot 89 degree X wind but I greased it on thanks to the great designers of this craft. All in all I found this plane to be blast to fly and and I think eventually I'll own one to add to my WW II collection. Next week I'll be test flying the Baka Bomb a delightful little rocket glider (similiar to the Rockt Racer I'll be flying in the near future ) and the V-1 series Pulse jet plane .I'm the only fly writer to get to fly these planes it will be an ANNE exclusive.

" :-) Gosh "Chuck", that pegged the Zoom meter with a solid 10. Is it possible that "Chuck" is actually just a Zoom sock puppet? Does anyone have a photo of "Chuck" and Zoom together at the same time? None of this Photoshop stuff but an unaltered photo? Now, I know what you're thinking: "but Zoom is always attacking "Chuck". What about that." That could be just an aspect of Campbell's self hatred! Or is Zoom one of "Chuck's" personalities? Rich |

I'm confused, Jim Campbell is a very fat man, and normal people in good shape begin to experience blackouts at 6-7 g's. How might a flabby pile like Zoom expect to calmly evaluate flight characteristics at 10.5 G's?? I really couldn't care less if he rode with Hawking, you pay- you ride, that easy, but who would believe a man that out of shape could fly the way he claims?? |

Notice the way he posts photos of the flight, and of Hawking in a
horizontal position in zero gravity, and the notice under the picture would lead you to believe that he is posting a copyright of the photo. See what it actually says, he is not copyrighting the photo, it says, "Portions Copyright © 1999-2007 by Aero-News Network, Inc. All rights reserved." Whatever "Portions" means, escapes me. The same photo appears in the gozerog.com website and credit is shown as zero gravity. The other day I thought I found some photos that were credited to the Orlando Sentinal or something like that and they were surprisingly similar, I dare not say identical, to photos on the ANN website. Sure does make a person wonder?? |
