Author	Topic: Can anybody here read Japanese?
mposis Pilot	posted 11-26- 08:02 AM I have a book on the Zero but it is in Japanese. Can anybody help me translate a page in it? I think this page has some info to make the FM for the Zero correct. Click the link below to see the page. (Warning - it's 200K) http://www.erols.com/mposis/fm.jpg Thanks, ------------------ Glad I had my seatbelt on...

mposis Pilot	posted 11-26- 12:01 PM dauntless, Thanks. I have seem this page but the page in the book give more information. For example, I think in the left side of the page it has the wing area, weight of the engine, wing loading, and power loading. I have no idea what is on the right side. ------------------ Glad I had my seatbelt on... IP: Logged
Aronsky Pilot	posted 11-26- 06:44 PM Hi mposis, I have a friend whose dad speaks Japanese: I'll see if his dad can take a look at it... IP: Logged

mposis Pilot	posted 11-27- 12:21 PM Thanks Guys, I think Whirlwind's wife is Japanese too. ------------------ Glad I had my seatbelt on... IP: Logged
JV44Siggi Pilot	posted 11-27- 01:20 PM My wife has just had a look, but she's going to need her dictionary and a couple of hours. The terms used are very technical and she doesn't know enough about planes to understand the info without using the dictionary. So, if nobody else does it first she'll do it this weekend. IP: Logged

Whirlwind Pilot	posted 11-28- 05:22 PM My wifey said she'd 'have a look.' IP: Logged
Spyder Pilot	posted 11-28- 06:30 PM Let's see....Mitsubishi, Toyota, Suzuki, Samurai...... Do I qualify? ------------------ IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 11-28- 07:47 PM Spyder, Can you say "sayonara"? IP: Logged
Aronsky Pilot	posted 11-29- 10:09 PM Hi mposis, Should I still send this to my buddy's dad for translation, or are there enough people already translating it? IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 11-30- 12:01 AM Aronsky, Thanks. A lot of people said they're going to help but no results yet. Don't send it to your friend's dad yet I am waiting for Spyder and Jerry to translate it first. IP: Logged
JV44Siggi Pilot	posted 11-30- 01:01 PM Sorry Mposis, my wife had a good look but she can't understand the terminology. Each Kanji has an individual meaning, even within a word consisting of several Kanji. If one isn't familiar with the terminology it's almost impossible to translate. "Wingu-loading? Nan desuka?".

mposis Pilot	posted 11-30- 04:50 PM Siggi, No problem. Thanks anyway. IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 11-30- 06:34 PM The line that says Kg/m^2 is wing loading The other ones that say m^2 would be areas of surfaces on the plane it would be pretty easy to guess which is which from a three view. Even a partial translation would make it easier to pick out the rest. TS ------------------ ________________________ TS Aircombat IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 12-01- 11:59 AM Tailslide, Here is what I got so far. Wing length:11 m Wing area 21.338 m^2 Aspect ratio 5.71 Power loading 2.49kg/hp It also gives hp at altitude I am also guessing that engine weight is 849.41 kg propeller weight 145.3 kg IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 12-02- 04:53 PM ( 11 x 11 ) / 21.338 = 5.7 so your numbers are right IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-08- 10:39 AM My wife took a look at it but couldn't make heads or tails of it. She's from the Philippines. Right race (asian), wrong country. :P IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 12-08- 12:04 PM Pete, Thanks for trying. I am from the Philippines too. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-09- 12:25 AM Mposis, Cool. I have many friends from the PI here at Travis AFB. Lots and lots of great people. IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 12-09- 07:21 AM Thanks a lot guys, Daisuke Iga from Japan translated it for me. He saw my post in this board and he wants to make planes for SDOE. ------------------ Glad I had my seatbelt on... IP: Logged
