In fairness, MCM have really been plugging it themselves. I was bemoaning it to a friend that I'd rather only find out all the fun stuff (like it being a pickup chop) when I watched the show, his counter was that they may be trying to get out ahead of people who've seen them and taken pics anyway, and that compared to the financial backing of Motor Trend for RK, MCM really need to be banging the hype drum hard to make it work out for them in ad revenue etc.

The amount of thought that went into the design of not just the aircraft but the shipping method is WAY more involved than I thought. Everything you need to slap a Jug together in the field is self-contained in that shipping container! How loving cool is that?

Then there's the film for commissioned officers, which is much shorter, and mainly clarifies the correct pronunciation of "Sergeant, build me a plane".

Is that the plane's electric generator they put on front of the propeller? What's the reason it goes there rather than feeding off a gearbox on the drive shaft or something?

I know, right? I really wish more people found the logistics of war interesting--imagine if you could go watch a group of historical reenactors uncrating a fighter plane or building a Roman fort instead of just boringly running at each other and falling down and then retiring to camp to drink and be wearily cynical of the soldier's life :v:

That's why I've always found the SCA's take more interesting.

"gently caress it, let's build ballistae and throw nerf soccer balls at people" is a perfectly acceptable narrative for them.

Well worn rock is funny in the other direction. Some of the offroad trails around Sedona get a lot of traffic and the trails are polished to a glossy shine. They also have some pretty severe ruts on the climbs. It was fun watching dudes spin tires trying to get up them.

They still get up okay, but it separates the vets from the rookies.

Also, people don't always realise that the centre of mass isn't slap bang halfway up the total vehicle height, so you can manage a fair old angle before things go roundheels on you.

It's like you get people calling out MTB trials riders for being "fake". No, they really can do that poo poo.

Eightbit is quite right - I go to Moab where I run similar trails, and while that move looks a little sketchy, it's not at all unrealistic.

I talked to a guy at work who has actually run the trail that's on. He said it's almost like cheating, and that the rocks are like loving velcro.
