Crashes and Upgrades

[edit]

I had the pleasure of flying this aircraft at USAFA which is where it was almost exclusively flown.

The article didn't mention the crashes that plagued this aircraft and the testing at Edwards and air fences upgrades that were installed to correct the problems. I remember one crashed with TWO OFFICERS (no cadets) out in Jack's Valley. It would be an interesting footnote to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.39.115.252 (talk) 06:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We needed reliable references as per WP:V to add this sort of thing, so if they can be found it can be added. Also it is worth noting the inclusion criteria for accidents in aircraft type articles at WP:AIRCRASH. If these accidents resulted in aircraft modifications they would qualify for a mention. - Ahunt (talk) 11:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Specs and Performance

[edit]

I added the actual stated glide ratios from the USAF flight manual. My initial attempt to correct the entry from 29:1 down to its actual stated glide ratio. The change was rejected for some reason. I've re-made the change and included the cite to the USAF flight manual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.101.173.242 (talk) 20:04, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your first change because your edit summary was blank and you didn't cite a reference, which made it look like vandalism. If the USAF manual claims a 19:1 glide ratio we have a conflict with the Sailplane Directory which says 28:1 and the Soaring Magazine reference which says 29:1 with the prop feathered. For a motor glider with a 18m wingspan a 19:1 glide ratio would be very low performance and 28:1 makes more sense, especially considering that it uses SGS 1-36 wings which produce 31:1 on that aircraft. Does the USAF indicate any qualifications on that glide ratio, such as with air brakes out? In the mean time I'll indicate that we have a reference conflict. - Ahunt (talk) 20:26, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
