Nope sadly

Yet another gaijin L apparently, guess I gotta start a YouTube channel so I can show you guys the Abrams turret interior and Bradley interior

They were so fascinating

Yeah, or find a video equivalent of imgur (idk if there’s any)
Edit: Imgur lets you do that apparently, you can try to give it a go if you want

Honestly you only really need a proper camera for the flying displays, most modern phones can take some pretty good photos of static displays due to being able to get a lot closer and not having to deal with them moving.

But those were some pretty nice photos you got anyway. Hoping to get a few good ones of the static displays this weekend at an airshow myself.

You should be able to

Or maybe it is limited to the topics you create? Not sure

If they are straight from your iPhone you will probably need to change the format from HEVC to MP4 or if it’s too large either trim it down or upload it to somewhere like Youtube and then post a link to it.

Fun fact, Merlin valve covers have 33 studs holding them on


Enjoy this completely useless piece of trivia

Also useless trivia, the camshaft is hollow and an oil galley, each one feeds all the cam towers
So a modern mod is you edm drill a hole on the front side of the cam lobe to tap into it and ensure the valve fingers always have oil and don’t have to rely on splash lubrication.

What’s up chat, i have a somewhat weird question, what is the biggest range from which an air to air kill was made by guns of any type (turrets included) (aka longest range gun a2a kill)?

Spoiler

Not going to pretend or something, but hitting a gun kill at 2,7 km was hella rewarding ngl even tho dude was flying in a line (maybe there were even more interesting shots idk)
