keep watching the back flip is cool because it rotates around the pitch axis.. not a "roll" maneuver The only aircraft that can do that. :headbang:

not anymore

Congrats, Chris!! MGW is also adjustable, isn't it?

Gotta love thrust-vectoring!! Gives a whole new level of control to just about anything that used to rely on separate systems to adjust course. :headbang:

I tried to explain this to my middle school kids with regards to rockets...but they just couldn't wrap their minds around it. :laugh:

don't seem that hard... for added directional control, you just point the engines in a new direction along with moving the aerodynamic control surfaces

No, the MGW has a 30% throw reduction, but not adjustable. However it is a complete shifter replacement. No rattle no noise, no heat. perfect.

Yup. I know that. Now try to explain it to a bunch of 13 years olds who just a week before learned that thrust doesn't really push a rocket UP...it fires out down...causing an opposite reaction per Newton's third law of motion. THAT blew their minds. :laugh:

i just had a great practical hands-on application that should help them grasp the concept, but there are probably 1000 fire & safety codes it would violate :facepalm:

and let's face it, not everybody (especially American kids today) is cut out to be a physicist

Holy $#!t.. I can't believe I waited this long to get this installed....

the difference is unreal... :headbang:

My next weekend Camaro loaner will be a stick... I want to drive a stock one around for a few days so I can compare to the ZL1 which is supposed to have a sorter throw... Then we'll see what the aftermarket has...

Boy I've been missing out w/ the L99...;)

i guarantee it won't be 30% shorter. after i put my RSD shifter in last year, it was night & day difference. the stock one literally looks & feels like an oar to me now

There is a rumor about a new Tremec with a direct mount shifter... but not for the ZL1.
