a Jeep Renegade can do a stoppie under hard braking! clearly cars shouldn't do this as the idea is to keep all four wheels on the ground during emergency situations. Flawed vehicle dynamics? Incorrectly set braking bias / balance? Either way a FCA must fix issue im sure..

so with postage that's around $260+ (aussie) I figured it'd be around that price range.. still only in for one.

oh! so they do have a variable exhaust nozzle! I never noticed or looked close enough at the business end of a Corsair.. it makes me wonder what the benefits of having the nozzle covered over at the end like that then?
-
these are magnificent! you certainly have talent I cannot deny! very impressive!
-
it could be that im so not use to seeing a Corsair without a variable exhaust like that which makes it look strange.. but that photo still doesn't look quite right. and you're right, there isn't a single photo of a A-7F with that exhaust on the net anywhere! Upon further investigation, as far as I can tell even if a Corsair was fitted with an F100 engine, it never got the nozzle. In a way it kinda makes sense as those nozzles (for that size engines anyway) are usually only fitted to aircraft of much higher mach capability. I think the A-7F only able to do not much more than mach 1.2 so maybe the nozzle wasn't necessary?? probably didn't have an after burner perhaps? of course im guessing out of my arse.. but it does seem to be the trend.

that never happened did it? a A-7 with feathered engine nozzle!? that photo kinda looks photoshopped anyways! hehe!
-
wel.. that sounds like you're in a pickle of a situation! so please tell why is a hammer an option in this case? Is the VF-31 kit that bad?

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
spanner replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I was pleasantly surprised with the movie as some anime movies of the series are often a bit disappointing.. *cough Macross Frontier cough* Plenty of awesome tank action and the detail was mighty impressive! In fact I liked the anime so much so that it might just influence a purchase of some kind! have to wait and see how that pans out.. -
this is looking fantastic!
-
that's because they are turbocharged!
-
this should be interesting to see! I hope you get the parts to fit! be sure to post pics of your efforts!

Christian von Koenigsegg is a brilliant brilliant man.
-
and by "modify" do you mean "super glue" all the parts on!? hehe!

I think it would be rather cheeky of Arcadia to ask anything at or over 20k for these parts.. seeing that they are more or less just static add on parts with minimal functionality, unlike a far more complex Valkyrie. I think a price tag of about 50% of what a Valkyrie is worth is far more acceptable. But yeah this is Arcadia we are talking about so everyone should expect the worst.. I can confidently say that I doubt that will happen..
