Sonny Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks. That was nice but what is with all the duct tape? It looked like it was holding the gun in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 I think that was speed tape and it was likely applied over some wiring routed externally for retrieving test data associated with firing the gun. Seen this before when out at Edwards, except everything Edwards Test did was colored orange for everything. Panels, brackets, wiring, everything was orange that was associated with test..

Metalbasher has it.Probably many strain gauges sending data to a recorder for later analesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are testing the 105 of the bird so instrumentation would be expected. I would have expected more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
