Unconventional Docking

[Iain M Norman]

After last time's successful docking backwards at 300m/s, I thought I'd try something different.

Are you going to try belly first as well ?

 

[Iain M Norman]

Hmm.

The cobra width is wider then the narrow dimension of the opening I know. Not sure if the length is?

I guess you could line up with the compass and try it. It's my next trick then

 

[Marcus]

Hehehe both of these vids were really good, but the backwards docking took some ba-ahem- courage

Well played sir!

 

[Sibbadd]

Excellent flying there. Are you going to request docking permission next time. You may get a standing ovation.

 

[trekman]

Nice flying. I doubt you'll be able to perform these kinds of manoeuvres when the police are introduced into the game. They'd have you for reckless driving or something

 

[Iain M Norman]

Best do them now

flight assist off, flip end over end through the field then land

then i'll be impressed

 

[cassius]

Now you're just showing off

Great vid

undoubtedly, you will accumulate the successes for the dangerous missions

Here's a belly flop:

That looks the hairiest yet!

That looks the hairiest yet!

I'm not sure I would have got away with that in a Cobra.

Fortunately I'd switched to a sidewinder to do some canopyless shots.

Superb and especially surprising
