Not sure why that doesn't work. Looks just like the example on the BBCode site. Fixed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w82CqjaDKmA

“In the grand scheme we weren’t planning on using that design going forward, anyway….”………the whole airframe, or just the re-drive????

I *am* curious what they plan to use going forward. Not the redrive...and I can't imagine the engine due to lack of availability. They can't pressurize the fuselage, and it's fairly overweight...so not sure you'd start there, either.  At least he managed to dodge another one...any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

Wow,
A few weeks of nothing much going on with Peter Raptor which was a bummer for me because this thread has been one of my first go to pages for a few years now.
The entertainment factor was much needed since so many of the great personalities that made me chuckle here have unfortunately had to move on.
And now this? I'm glad Peter is alright but I believe the journey has ended (probably a good thing for Peter's wellbeing) except for the post mortem on the Raptor.
5 years, 255 pages. It was fun while it lasted.
Phil

Who here wins the prize to post the Crash Talk thread.
I am glad that Peter is OK! Airplanes can be replaced.
