It took some craw for Ornithological Gizzard to post that. Feather we like it or not. I chicked around, trying to get a gander as to just hen you started this.

Violent? Every single atom in your body heavier than hydrogen was cooked up in some star that has exploded.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Writing a good manual is an art and I took a look at the following historic example I found online. After all, I have worked with similar devices. Most of you will probably not be able to read the text, but the sections about fueling up (and the dangers of the three sorts of fuel) or the section about how to set up the ignition give me the creeps, especially because of the forced humor throughout the entire manual. Just look at the illustrations.
Read the manual before making any attempt to use the device[^]
I expected everything from rocket science for dummies to dry military drill, but not this.

Bizzar, proves the point there was not that much differnce between yesterday & todays military types.
I have seen a similar thing for a Davy Crocket battle field nuke (because hey, we want to be night lights)

These came only a few years after the A4 and probably were just as primitive. Just to think of having to pump hypergolic rocket fuel into that thing somewhere in the field. I would be more afraid of that than the of the warhead.

Well the War head was not the only thing to be afraid of. Mind you the Luftwaffer had an aircraft powered by hypergolics (Me-163) and the fuel was so corrosive that it ate the fuel tanks used to corrode.

But only for a few minutes and during that time you have far more pressing matters to attend to:
- How do I restart the rocket motor when it suddently goes out?
- How can I be fast enough to be less of a target and keep this thing from breaking the sound barrier at the same time?
- Is there any way to steer this thing?
- Landing without an undercarriage and without any thrust is fun!

From a simulation I tried of one (X-Planes) it was great in a straight line or climbing forget about turning, looping, intercepting anything. You can sort of work out why it was test plane pressed to service!

Strange, I noticed the take off was like some of the old footage of the full size take off, the plane goes straight in a modest climb, levels out and then re-starts the climb, I was under the impression that was due to the pilot (aka poor sod, who got volunteered) looking for Targets before climbing to intercept. Maybe its down to the rocket motor trust, I was under the impression that the rate of burn was controlled via valves feeding the fuel, giving a kind of throttle. However that version had a solid motor that you couldn't control. So either the pilot wanted to replicate the flight characteristics or there a atmospheric reason...

I think it's as simple as the plane not being fast enough yet to climb when it leaves the ramp, so it levels off, picks up more speed and then can climb without stalling.

Yes, but the full size did the same so I suppose they took off with the with the 'taps' open, went into a climb with using the flaps to gain altitude (and drop the under carridge(?)) gain speed, until they have enough speed to trade for altitude. I am not a pilot just a plane nut (in more ways than one!)
