I'm used to that.LOL! Huzz

Thats not what I heard...what about that beauty pageant, those restrainning orders, that thing with that super model, goat and the water fountain?...I forget what hotel lobby that was but ...wow dude! :p

Sounds like my reputation exceedes me!! :lol:

The ring on the bottom of the Flying sub is a docking ring just like on the top of the vehicle. the FS-1 is propelled by the jets discharging from the rear and flys due to its aerodynamic ???? shape.......However the mystery is how is the FS-1 controled in flight???? There are no visible aerodynamic control surfaces there are also no reaction control jets!!! and the jets do not appear to be designed to be steered...Another mystery!
I guess that the pilot just lit the wick and hoped that the darned thingwould go where he wanted it to go!

Works like a skateboard. Watch carefully and you can see Admiral Nelson lean side-to-side.

Joel Tavera; now THAT's one of those names I always lift my glass or coffee mug to!

Me too - otherwise he usually knocks the glass over and spills it all over your coffee table.

Two words:

"Vectored thrust."

Look at the Flying Sub and then at any mechanism for vectoring Thrust....I don't see any such mechanism associated with Flying Sub.
Fact is that the creators of the TV series never thought about the mechanics of how to steer Flying Sub......
Like many other Hollywood ships it's not a practical conveyence---
That doesn't make it less neat--- Just makes it non functional! Like most other sci-fi vehicles created in Hollywood!
We're not supposed to try to figure out how it works, just accept that it does by the application of TV MAGIC!

I was always under the impression that it was some kind of gyro stabilizer controled.

I'd buy that.

TV MAGIC, VECTORED THRUST--same thing! ;)
