And yes, there really is a detail missing from all the pic's I've seen posted here but I'm not going to say what it is, I don't want to be bashed as a rivet counter. So obvious too!

Good catch niart17, but didn't some D's upgrade to the dash 2 after they had problems integrating the dash 1 with the fragistator assembly, which as you probably already know, was only included so that the torbisactor wouldn't generate spurious signals.

If you watch Season 9 Episode 87 of J.A.G., Mac and Harm handle the case of a foreign injection molding company that causes the crash of a polymer prototype that caused insanity of a local squadron.

One of the longest running comedy series ever, now in season 209 episode 5217. IIRC it was a spinoff of a popular reality show “Real Tomcats of the US Navy”. That show had a great tagline, “Often Imitated, Never Duplicated”..... . Edited August 23, 2019 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I have a parts question... On this sprue... What are the 4 half-rounded/curved/flat parts at the top of the sprue? I noticed there are 6 of these parts on the sprue, two more below the canopy frame. I assume they are the hinges for the stabilizer, but why are there 6 of them? Perhaps for different positions (Up, Down, Level)? The curved part must go around the engine. Looking at these, I don't think the stabilizer is movable....

Very true. As I understand it though, that was only the South Coast units because crawfish were being sucked into the fragistator assembly vent tube while flying low level operations in the Gulf. Plus the Spurious signals were causing havoc to the oil drilling platforms. All other units could continue use of the dash 1. That is of course provided they upgraded the torbisactor to include the new teflon coated cornaflaterators. I'm sure you remember Capt. Huskers tragic accident when they failed to do so.

habu2 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Don’t forget the defestrator mod, implemented after Goose hit the canopy when he ejected during a flat spin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott CNJC-IPMS they ARE the stab mounts, there are 3 different angles. up down and neutral I assume. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my yes, terrible, just terrible. He was never the same after that accident. Couldn't look at a crayfish without breaking out into a cold sweat. 59 minutes ago, niart17 said: That is of course provided they upgraded the torbisactor to include the new teflon coated cornaflaterators. Yes, of course. Also the reason they changed from the Turbo Encabulator to the Retro Encabulator. The new cornaflaterators improved the modial interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive diractance in the torbisactor. Edited August 23, 2019 by Mstor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wadeocu Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Is there an arbitrary limit of page numbers for a thread on this site? Funny thing: I thought there was, that it was 200 and that this was the reason everyone kept talking about it and rooting for it to hit 200; so that it would crawl off and die a quiet death!
