Cool video. It will be hard to complain that hanging is not realistic!

not if you are flying a F-35B

Seen that video via an  E-mail I received.  Like I asked then, wait til some stormy night and see how it goes.

Now my comments on hanging.  If it doesn't go backwards it is not hanging.  A Bi-Slob hangs once in a while during flight as it is vertical at that point.   By the way, at one of the last air shows I attended and Navy pilot made a pass down the runway with gear down, flaps down and well past 30 degrees.   I wondered how he kept control as it was moving so slow.

Jim,
Ted kraver built and flew a Pogo at the NATS several years ago. It had electric throttle, he got it off the deck vertically but as I recall had some throttle problems while flying due to a loose connection. It would be a true 'hanger'

John,
I have long wanted to build a pogo but never had the guts to do it.  Any pics of Ted's?

Notice there are NO cross deck pendants (arresting gear) and the USS Wasp is an LHD (LHD-1), an amphibious ship, not an attack carrier. So how does this fit in our tiny bird farms with 10 arresting ropes on bags of dirt or sand??? Any one want to attempt to come up with a hover capablilty?  Jet or ducted fan?  Should be fun.

Instead of arresting cables use a bullseye!
