OK OLD FARTS , ON THE DUECE-WHAT WAS THE STYLE OF WING TIP CALLED (WINGTIP DOES NO COUNT), AND WHAT WAS ITS PURPOSE- OTHER THAN TO CLOSE OFF THE WING STRUCTURE FROM VIEW HOW MANY WING FENCES WERE ON EACH SIDE WHAT WERE THE FUNNY LOOKING CLIPS ON THE TF CANOPY CALLED, AND WHAT WAS ITS PURPOSE DID THE DUECE EVER HAVE LEADING EDGE SLATS IF IT DID, WHY? FOR YOU YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS :-*WHAT DID THE "RAT" POWER ON THE 6 WHAT WAS USED TO EMER. EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR WAS IT EVER DONE , OTHER THAN IN FLIGHT WHY WHAT PRECAUTIONS HAD TO BE TAKEN AFTER SUCH AN EXTENSION WHAT GOVERNED A "CG TRANSFER" COULD IT TAKE PLACE WITH A FULL INTERNAL FUEL LOAD YOU "TIRE KICKERS" HAD BETTER COME UP WITH MORE CORRECT ANSWERS THAN MArv ;D ;D...... VERIFICATION OF ANSWERS WILL HAVE TO COME FROM OUR RESIDENT CONVAIR TECH REP JIM DAY, I BE A BETTIN THAT I CAN BE A GIVIN THE NAMES O THE ONES WHAT BE A HAVIN ANSWERS TO ME FINE QUESTIONS FER ME.. I BE A HAVIN A CASE O ME FINE BEER WHAT BE INA THE GREEN BOTTLES FER THE WINNER- BUT YE BE A HAVIN TA PAY THE SHIPPIN CHARGES FER YE WHO A BE A ANSWERIN, AN ;D ;D ;D FER YE WHAT NO BE A CHIMIN IN........

I am not a young whipper snapper but I will attempt to answer the seven "6" questions Jim. #1-The Rat supplies emergency primary hydraulic pressure to power the flight controls. #2-Emergency landing gear extention is provided by high press air. a-Yes I believe it was done on the ground as b. b-Operational test. c-The minimum precaution after such an extention is to bleed the air from the secondary hydraulic system. #3-CG transfer was controlled by the CADC with air data inputs. a-No transfer with full internal overload configuration. Yes with full normal configuration. Answers based on what I think I remember of what was the case 30 years ago.

B-4 or after you remove the reservoir cap. To prevent over pressurizing the reservoir you might think about removing the cap B-4 you allow the high pressure air to return to the reservoir or bleed the air pressure at the down side hose at the MLG actuator.

Resevoir cap removal after emer gear extension. Cap removal was not required. Mule hyd press was set at 0 psi with 0 flow rate. Emergency gear extension handle was returned to normal position. Air was released overboard outborad os nose gear wheel well. Landing gear position handle raised to up position. Increase hyd press on mule to 1500 psi. Open mule hyd flow control valve enough for the gear to unlock and start upward motion. Control speed of gear retraction with the mule flow control vale until gear was fully retracted and locked in place. Rest mule pressure to 3000 psi and 10 gallons per minute flow. Cycle gear until all air has been removed from sec system. Figure all this out you old timers.

I have to admit that I have only seen this done! You guys wouldn't let any MA-1 NEAR that system! You had enough of us whenever we needed the RTM system bled! I'm thinking that it sounds just fine with me! PS: How much Hyd fluid was drained in a typical "RTM-MAggie" bleed??? When did you stop? MArv 8-)

about the F&TF-102 questions . 1.the funny wing was a case xx wing,created more lift. 2. The first production model F-102 53-1791 or any fowlling dueces did not have wing slats. 3.The little tabs on the TF canopy was vortec generators they broke up the slipstream over the canopy so if it had to be ejected it would not fly back and hit the vertical stabilizer. 4.Two fences on each wing. :-XThats me tale and i`m stikking to it.

Ref; TF-102 canopy vortex generators were installed to disrupt the airflow over the leading edge of the canopy. Before they were installed the air flow would caue a negative pressure on the front part of the canopy. This created a problem with keeping the canopy secured tight enough that the canopy seal could function to keep the area sealed for cabin pressure. One pilot told me that before the engineering change was made at about Mach 1 (in a dive) you could styick your finger between the canopy and the windshield frame. So that is my story about vortex generators. (No a-c or d-c)

Hehehe, Gotta wake this thread up! ALLLLLLRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does ANYONE out there remember the official/semi-official name of the UGLY arcraft the Canuks had called the CF-100? ? It definitely did NOT look like an American Saber! ;D What armament did it carry??? if any!!! Who made it? ? What was the job that it was supposed to do? Are there ANY still out there flying??? MArv Oh yeah. I remember them at Loring in 69-71. But ass ugly. Anyone rem,ember the Vulcan delta bombers that passed thru Loring? They definitely were not a work of beauty. Best be putting the study on the over/under embossed Delta Dart just to the right of the no right gear Dart. Them 27th pilots must of been out of this universe good cause it's got two left wings. ;D ;D Do you suppose their flight suits had two left sleeves The 27TH FIS Pilots were a very skilled bunch in they IOrange suits They a bein able ta fly with one drop tank on top o the wing on one side and the the other in it proper place when they be a pickin the machine up from depot ;D ;D......Member wha I be a sayin bout readin the question fer me an a half fer ye but ye be a gettin a tip o me fine derby Not sure on the flight suits, but we had left handed screwdrivers and leftsided earplugs in maintenance! All 27th beer mugs were left handed only. Hell even the Moose was left handed! AJ - Da Ole Guy

He played left handed bass guitar in a band with Ssgt. Tom Druley at the Crossroads (aka the "Zoo") in theearly 70's.
