    Just cuz you own it doesn't mean you should be flying it.

    there's an element of truth to that .. however NO ONE could have flown this airplane out of that flap asymmetry

    He didn’t quit. He got hurt in a 1930’s air race replica crash in 1990 and couldn’t fly. Skip Holm took over and then Steve retired.

    Has anyone heard the latest report concerning the Tsunami rebuild? Every year at the Air Races there' s a booth solicitating funds. They usassy have a a piece of the tail fin on display.

    For a long while it seemed they just funded their transporting the fuselage every year. But this year at Reno, they had some real progress. Minus the important part like engine... It's currently in that well known stage of 90% intact with 90% left to go.

    Look, I agree he wouldn't have been in a racer of his own design if not for the dream. But poor (nonexistent) engineering is what caused the aircraft to crash. The landing gear failed in a gentle low speed turn. Then the flaps failed and deployed asymmetrically. If the basics weren't engineered. What keeps flutter and divergence from rearing their heads at speed? We don't need another Ghost incident. (Failure to re-set horizontal stabilizer to the specifications of NACA high mach dive test setting, using a trim tab to hold nose down instead. And removing the other tab).

    Takes more than a fast plane to win a race.

  • @EllipsisAircraft
    @EllipsisAircraft5 ай бұрын

    582mph at its optimal altitude, a straight line, no additional induced drag, and this long straight around 12,500' taking place on a hot day. I still doubt it could hit mach 0.75 as a piston engine propeller airplane.

    Agreed 100%. I also wish there were at least 2-3 more per year, ideally in different locations. When I was a little kid in the early 1970's, my dad took me to not only the Reno Air Races, but also the Mojave and San Diego Air Races, all in the same year. Imagine going to 3-4 of these per year!

    I'm so grateful for the videos you've been uploading lately. Tsunami was flying around the time I was born into my infancy, and I've always been fascinated by it, coming from a family of avgeeks and airline pilots. I'm not sure if I love air racing more because of the excitement involved on every level, or the fact that it's just so low key that you can converse or interact with so many people so easily without being shoved off or turned away from people. I've been involved with regional NASCAR racing for around twenty years, and the air racing community gives off the same vibe. Thanks again for all of these great videos.
