I got a little confident one day and decided I was going to play chicken with a new Project AI download that I just installed....BIG MISTAKE Undecided

On my first attempt I was little off target....

Not so on the second pass...lined right up!

Right at the last second..(i guess a second too late) I pulled back hard on the yoke...

I managed somehow to clip the tip of the heavy and it snapped my baron right in half! Shocked

With engines on full power and the yoke pulled back...she climbed and climbed...

She climbed pretty far too but finally she gave out and stalled...and apparently, I didn't damage the heavy at all!

Once she started pointing down...there was nothing to do but hold on...

Just before I met my demise, I took this lesson to heart and vowed never again to mess with a heavy... Grin

Playing chicken with anything that weighs more than twice what you do = REALLY dumb!

Nice shots btw

Once you get in the middle of this maneuver, you are destined to win the spot landing contest Shocked

........might be hard to have a second flight on that given day though, as the next take-off may be a tad difficult Roll Eyes

I just have the damage enabled in the AIRCRAFT.CFG file. I don't have it hear at work but if you want it then send me a PM or an email I will get it from home and send it to you.

Thanks!
