Full tinfoil hat theory as to what happened to Zuma: <sorry, citizen, you're not cleared to read that more than once. Report to the nearest disintegration chamber. The computer is your friend.>

I'll see your screenshot and raise you a changed thread title... what does it take for someone to acknowledge my new title?? Geez.
I don't know, SFHGPTN just doesn't have the same ring. It's lacking that je ne se quois.
Has anyone heard any rumors that Zuma was built from components/designs out of Area 51 and it just flew away on release?
Quote from: Roy_H on 01/14/2018 06:21 pm I would have bet almost anything that the fill/drain would have it's own direct connection to the main tank to avoid having a split in the feed from the tank to the center engine. Wouldn't this split juncture cause unwanted turbulence and possibly cavitation?no, because the fluid is not moving in the closed off fill/drain branch.It is common to branch the fill/drain line off of a feed line. They don't make a dedicated line into the tank.

Edit: 8 minutes and 50 seconds.
