  1. I was wondering, how big would a 1/10 scale VF-1 be? the reason why i'm asking is, i'm thinking of building one after i get my project car done (that should take about a year to do) so i can test out GERWALK mode to see if it'll really work without risking some poor test pilot's neck.

  2. it definately has to do with the engines, since the VF-0's engines are so fuel-hungry, the VF-0 needs to hold enough fuel for it to go fight for like 30 min with a 2 hour loiter time (somewhere near that long) and still make it back to the carrier. since the VF-1 uses Hydrogen for fuel, all it has to do is just fly and suck the air to get it's fuel, so it can fly as long as the pilot basically wants to, needing only a small space to store fuel.

    as to the advantage for size, usually the smaller the aircraft, the more manuverable it is, hence, the VF-1 being able to outmanuver the VF-0 (be cool to see a VF-0 vs a -1 dogfight, to see how unbalanced they are)

  3. I skipped most of it after i saw Capt. Rico and Nanashi going at it... (hey Rico, u should've just kept it to PM instead of "wasting" our (and the server's) time and space. going to PM would've been a lot more mature than what you showed a page ago)

    (to DH and everyone else)

    well since it has the airbrakes in each of the 4 directions, it should be possible to use in real life and could appear on some new Fighters in the future, especially since most of them are going to be able to SuperCruise (i.e. go supersonic without the use of Afterburners, for the non-informed of the newest jets) so that way they could manuver greatly (and immediately, like DH said). Heck, they could probably set up an F-16 to do the same if they changed the 'brakes on it.

  4. yea, i made one earlier today, (what happened to it anyway?) and i got my 1/48 Low Vis to do a handstand (sort of) i had to put the hands inside the arms and i balanced it on the "stumps" (hopefully will get a pic soon. as of now, 12 hours later, it's still hangin in there)

  5. well people, once i graduate Riddle (in about 8 years) I'm gonna build a 1/10 scale VF-0 to test out GERWALK mode (w/o the arms) just to see if it'll work without endangering human lives.
