I can probably assure you that the data gathered probably revealed some interesting differences between nerf types and differences according to which side of the aircraft the nerf was dropped from. All relevant data has been forwarded to Dr Catherine Cavagnaro who will no doubt obtain a second doctorate on the basis of the probable subsequent paper. She did tell me there was so much data that it might take her a few years to get the paper written.
A long winded way of saying that this contest should not be taken too seriously.
Hmmmm....i'd like to look at that data myself. Analyize the numbers... get down to the real nitty gritty. Will 200 feet vs. 250 ft agl place me so far ahead of the earth center of mass that the drop is affected? Will the reduced density of the air affect the reduction in velocity so that i overshoot the target? Would that make ma a Nerf Nerd?

Also, does the relationship of the angle taken to the target to the rotation of the earth effect targeting?
I have a slighty used Nortown bomb sight if anyone is interested.

Those bomb sights only work with pickle barrels. Not the swimming pool they use at Clinton...... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 15,909 Likes: 1004 Member/15,000 posts | | Member/15,000 posts Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 15,909 Likes: 1004 | All relevant data has been forwarded to Dr Catherine Cavagnaro who will no doubt obtain a second doctorate on the basis of the probable subsequent paper.

Well,she SHOULD be within the airport boundaries this year.

If it requires an autopilot like the Norden bomb sight, it won't work for us!  | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 5,198 Likes: 259 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts! Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 5,198 Likes: 259 | Greame, You might be right if I had a real used Norden bombsight, the amazing sights used by the Allied bombers during WWII. However if you are talking about a Nortown bombsite, which is a cheap knockoff made out of PVC pipe and copper tubing whose only purpose is to get me fuel money for my trip to Clinton from unspecting Suckers aaaah I mean fellow pilots then they will be lucky to hit the ground.
