RE: Ian, you would be surprised at what aero types know!
The mere idea of being within "range" of the debris from a 200+ mph model disintegrating in mid-air keeps me from being anywheres near a DS event!
Or a jet event!
Too much energy converted to ballistic projectiles coming down who knows where!
We did an analysis of the g-loads on another forum... using the radar speeds and the time for a loop..
Close to 20 g!
It seriously stretches model airplane construction techniques at the top end of the performance range.
