I am trying to find out what the minimum takeoff speed is for a c-130H without taking the time to do all the charts. I'd say with no load, minimum crew, and around 34k fuel.
It's not a hammer, it's a mallet. And besides, if anyone can come up with a logical reason why hitting a strut (which is capable of supporting 100k + lbs) with a rubber mallet in ANY way is harmful, I'm all ears.
That is my point. If every panel is a fillet panel, why would only specific ones be referred to as such? The panels aren't called that because of a technical term but because that's what they look like. Same idea as an armpit panel. It's called an armpit panel because it looks like an armpit.
Just because the TO doesn't say to do it doesn't mean its a tech data violation to do it. I haven't seen any warnings, cautions, or notes in the TO saying you can't do this.
Whoever came up with that dumb idea must be from New York! But no, its like shaking a soda to get carbonation out of it. Only difference is you can't shake a strut (unless your name is Jason Russo) so hitting it with a mallet is the next best thing.
