Let's talk TRANSONIC!

Jim I always said that the old dead guys had this all worked out in a lot shorter time frame since they changed from the patched round ball front stuffers to the cartridge suppository loaders.

Rick as far as your topic passing through the subsonic zone I think it has an effect on the stability, how far down range it goes before it works way out the yaw it travels or if it ever does I have no idea. I have put a lot of pasters over holes when pulling targets at long range that are egg shaped and looking at the shooters bullets he sent down range are mostly the long nosed bullets.
I don't know what goes on in this zone but I remember reading when pilots first tried to break the sound barrier with their P-5's putting then into a nose dive and a lot of then crashed when they tried to pull out of the dive till one figured out that the controls were reversed. I don't remember his name.
