#4,?? I'm assuming some type of illusion with the blade rotation or lack of #5, The shadow shows the guy armed with a rifle,why didn't he shoot? or was that part left out #10, must be a first time mother, no wonder there are only 3 ducklings left out probably 9-10 to start
Or, not hunting at all - those deer look kinda short-legged? Svalbard subspecies is known for that and you don't go out on Svalbard without something to deter hungry polar bears.
"some type of illusion with the blade rotation"... Stroboscopic effect. The prop is turning at X revs per second, and the camera is taking pictures at Y frames per second. Depending on the difference, the prop can appear to be turning forward, backward, or just staying still. (I once saw a clip of a helicopter doing a landing approach and the rotor blades appeared to be absolutely fixed in place - no rotation at all. Spooky.)
It’s propeller speed vs frame rate plus the fact that the camera has a rolling shutter. Instead of recording a frame all at once, the camera rapidly scans the frame from one side to the other, which causes rapidly moving objects to appear curved.
That Storch was taking off into a wind not much slower than its stall speed. The tell is the way the pilot was able to get the rear of the plane up horizontal almost before it had any forward motion.
And, yes, the propeller's apparent (slow) motion is the product of the 'Wagon-wheel effect'*. Early on it looks three-bladed but later it looks like it has two-- which it does.
Fieseler's other well-known project was the V-1 'Buzz-Bomb'.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect Which is a form of spatial aliasing though neither the above nor wackypedia's 'aliasing' article discusses it as such.
The airplane is a Mackey SQ2 experimental Supercub (look it up) and I'm pretty sure the location is the Knik River valley near Palmer, Alaska. I used to play similar games in my PA-18A at the same place.
10, 8, and 4. If only more folks could emulate the gentleman helping those little quackers, our lives would all be much better. The orca did give her room to "duck". Do a wiki on killer whales. Imho, they don't belong in "theme parks" for our amusement. As for the Alaskan bush pilots, life there would be extremely difficult without them. Exceptional humans imo. Ohio Guy
#4 Propeller appearance is an artifact of the camera shutter speed/rate vs the propeller rpm rate. You should watch the videos of the bush pilot competitions for shortest takeoff roll and shortest landing roll.
My first experience of this strobe effect was watching cowboy movies on Saturday morning as a kid. As the robbers were chasing the stage coach, the wheels appeared to slow and go backward.
When I was a kid we lived in Alaska, back in the 60s. Once we were up at Lake Louise fishing, and they had this event that had a competition for shortest landing and takeoff on the gravel beach. I think it was mostly Piper Cubs, but I dont really know aircraft well enough to say...these guys could land em thought in a three distance.
still laughing at #1, do they compare it to a 45 acp?
ReplyDelete#10 makes me have hope for the human race.
I get that urge when I see a 9mm. Never did like that caliber.

DeleteFor #5, could've been hunting something else.

No, just a very short take off airplane

DeleteGonna think twice about flipping off another squirrel.
ReplyDelete#4 looks like a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch - perhaps the greatest STOL aircraft ever made .

That's a Super Cub with tundra tires. The motion of the prop is strange because of the sample rate of the digital camera used.
DeleteThe slats on the leading edge of the wing explain everything. Look it up.

ReplyDelete#6: Cue in the platters,
ReplyDeleteYou've Got the magic touch
You-oo-ve got the magic touch
You make it crack so much
It'll cost like hell

ReplyDeleteThey hold those races today. Commonly called "STOL Drags" One of these races was held at Reno last week.
DeleteYou see a lot of Cubs in that event although mostly Carbon Cubs these days.
#2 They say fat girls give the best head, they're always so hungry.
ReplyDeleteThat looked like sleight-of-hand trickery to me - she turned her headlsightly and hid it with her hand.
DeleteDon't start that anti 9mm shit. It's all about shot placement...
ReplyDeleteI agree. Some people give me crap when I sometimes carry a .380. But none of them will let me shoot them in the face.
Delete#7 - you pass test, time for you to go, Grasshopper.
ReplyDelete#6.Hand jewelry? Toughened glass.
ReplyDelete#5. Maybe he carries gun just in case of bear.
ReplyDeleteUnless he needs food shooting the deer would not be much sport.
