DAVIDSTRAKA Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Took it out over Florida for a spin. I'm not sure the engine is supposed to quit while inverted but I had to do a restart in the air. :confused: Pushed it up towards 44,000 and it wouldn't go any further. Had to restart after this Burner on Burner off That was as far as she would go with afterburner How about a little spin action Not bad on landing Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Sweet!! I always thought the F-8 was the most attractive carrier based plane I've ever been around. I love the swing wing!! They and the A-4s were much better at laying down air cover for a chopper than the F-4. Both seemed much more responsive at low speed. As to max altitude, the book says 58,000' service ceiling. Based on the flame out and the lower elevation, perhaps yours has bad or at least dirty, fuel-injectors? Again Where did you find that sweet-heart!?? I'd love to put both in my hanger as well!

It could have come from another sight.
