0:03
We're at the Hood Aerodrome in Masterton, New Zealand, prepping these authentic, detail
0:09
accurate World War One aircraft for an actual but safe aerial dogfight using cutting
0:15
edge laser technology.
0:17
Simulated machine gun fire and smoke and practical effects to indicate lethal hits.
0:23
The thing that's so finicky about this work is that it's not just the planes that are
0:27
delicate. Everything about them is delicate, including the flying.
0:31
Just wiring up the planes and attaching our laser sensors is a surprisingly intensive and
0:37
nerve wracking job.
0:38
It's critical that none of the gear we add interferes with the safe operation of the
0:43
plane. The last place you want any surprises is in the air.
0:48
I'm trying trying to route this wire so that it doesn't touch any of the other important
0:55
crap in here, and everything in here is important.
1:01
Come on. Oh, there we go.
1:04
I got you.
1:05
I really hope I did that right.
1:13
With our lasers all wired up.
1:15
Now to add a little more cacophonous tech to our planes simulated machine gun fire.
1:22
We are not just attaching lasers to rubber guns on these planes.
1:26
We've contracted Hamish, Bruce and Armour, who is bringing some gas blowback guns for us
1:33
to use. These guns will go bang at a very loud decibel rate, and they'll deliver some
1:39
muzzle flash to make this experience more authentic from an audio standpoint and from a
1:45
visual standpoint, these machine guns are modified replicas of the same guns that would
1:50
have been mounted on the planes.
1:52
They're designed to release a mixture of propane and oxygen in synchronized bursts
1:57
with the machine guns trigger that gas gets ignited by an electronic spark plug, and
2:02
voila!
2:08
You get pretty.
2:09
Lifelike and loud simulated machine gun fire.
2:15
Next up, practical effects to indicate the plane has received a lethal hit.
2:19
In a true dogfight, a bullet ridden engine would emit telltale smoke, and so will ours.
2:26
We're installing smoke canisters so that when the indicator box signals a lethal
2:30
engine or fuel tank hit, the pilot will flip a switch, releasing a smokey simulation of
2:36
the real thing.
2:37
But what about the most lethal hit of all?
2:40
Besides taking out the engine, it's clear that one of the best ways to take down a
2:44
plane is to take down the humans in charge of that plane, and I wanted more than just
2:50
the notation that a human has been killed.
2:53
So I'm going to try and build in that theatrical kill shot indicator onto this
2:59
helmet. Yes.
3:01
A helmet that will indicate my brain's being blown out.
3:04
Using some red paper streamers.
3:07
Here's how this is going to work.
3:09
I put the helmet on.
3:12
And when I see that I've been killed, I pull this pin and this whole thing goes flat and
3:19
all of my brains fly out.
3:21
For safety purposes, pilots Gary and Bevan will not be wearing brain exploding helmets.
3:27
So we've come up with something a bit less invasive to indicate that they've taken a
3:32
hit. Zack has designed and built a beautiful automatic release mechanism for a roll of
3:37
toilet paper that when the pilot gets hit, he pushes a button and it releases a flag of
3:42
maybe 3 or 4m of toilet paper that lets us know we've gotten a hit on the pilot.
3:50
With all of our effects in place, it's time for a crucial systems check in the air.
3:56
Bevans agreed to be our test pilot.
4:04
Bevan tests the gas.
4:06
Blowback guns. Then flips the switch.
4:13
To release the smoke.
4:15
Yeah. Wow.
4:21
From muzzle flash.
4:26
Ha ha! The gun sounds amazing.
4:30
The smoke is just a tad thin.
4:34
Next up, the pilot hit indicator.
4:36
Our red toilet paper blood trail.
4:39
Bup bup bup bup bup.
4:40
Bup bup bup bup bup.
4:43
Bevin hits the switch and.
4:49
All right. Toilet paper craps out.
4:54
That's not as. Spectacular, as I was hoping.
4:58
It seems that our toilet paper roll was a little too big for our dispenser, and was
5:02
jammed in too tight to unspool.
5:06
These things happen from time to time, so after a quick trip back down to earth and
5:11
refitting the dispenser with the thinner roll of red crepe paper, Bevin takes off for
5:17
one more test.
5:23
And. We are.
5:27
All systems go.
5:30
Our paper blood trail works like a charm.
5:35
After adding extra canisters for a more robust smoke trail, it's almost time for our
5:40
dogfight to begin.
5:42
But in order for this to feel truly authentic, there's one more stop I need to
5:47
make.
5:48
So we've got some aviation gear in here.
5:52
A lot of this is sort of, you know, me and yeah, various this is mainly First World War.
5:58
It's mainly First World War.
5:59
Obviously. Maybe not.
6:00
Yeah.
6:01
This is a little earlier before I take flight.
6:04
Of course I want to look the part.
6:07
I'd like to dress as a correct World War One aviator.
6:10
And lucky for me, Peter and his collecting prowess, which makes me look like an amateur,
6:17
has thousands and thousands of costumes, including tons and tons of World War One
6:22
aviator uniforms, coats, hats, goggles, among many other things.
6:26
And he is going to outfit me correctly.
6:32
Every aviator needs a great flight jacket.
6:35
And of course, Peter's got me covered.
6:38
You know, every time I look on eBay, the amount of World War One stuff is surpassingly
6:42
thin. Is that because of you?
6:45
I couldn't possibly comment.
6:47
I'm looking at this thing.
6:48
It's totally amazing.
6:55
Frankly, there's a lot more fabulousness.
6:57
Than I expected to encounter.
7:01
Oh.
7:05
These things are 100 years old.
7:08
Peters collection of World War One uniforms is stunning, and it's the final touch I need
7:14
for my showdown in the sky.
7:46
With one final systems check.
7:48
We're ready to fly.
