Powers, Christopher (January 14, 2018). "Tom Hoge leads Brian Harman and Patton Kizzire by one stroke at the Sony Open in Hawaii". Golf Digest. In his 203rd start on the PGA Tour, Hoge gained his first victory in February 2022 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He shot a final round 68 for 268 (–19), two strokes ahead of runner-up Jordan Spieth. [12]

Although individual effect volume levels can’t be adjusted in DCC, I disabled the crew chatter by pressing function 27. In March 2023, Hoge made the cut at the Players Championship on the number, then set a tournament record by shooting a 10-under 62 in the third round. [13] Amateur wins [ edit ] Due to this, the helicopter can hover at higher gross weight (equivalently, at higher altitude for given weight) in ground effect (HIGE) compared to out of ground effect (HOGE). Factory Direct Hobbies has a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after your item has shipped to request a return. While hovering near the ground, the induced velocity at the rotor is reduced, which reduces the power requirement for a given rotor thrust (lift); equivalently, the rotor thrust is increased for given power due to ground proximity. Also, near ground, the rotor tip vortex is reduced.The Explorer-series locomotive reviewed here includes an automatic dual-mode Digital Command Control (DCC) decoder and Digitrax sound system. The same locomotive is also available as a Pioneer-series, DC-only model without sound. Both versions have numerous railroad-specific details. Golfer Tom Hoge, 4 others to join Fargo South High Hall of Fame". Inforum. (Fargo, North Dakota). November 21, 2022 . Retrieved February 27, 2023. The prototype’s cooling system has a new heat exchanger to lower the diesel engine’s operating temperatures. This helps reduce emissions and maintenance. The oversize cooling system is the ES44AC’s primary spotting feature; the locomotive is otherwise similar to GE’s AC4400CW. Pisani, Sacha (January 14, 2018). "Sony Open: Tom Hoge hits the front after missile scare". Sporting News. Rapido’s HO model features all-new tooling and represents units from Phase Ic, Phase III and Phase IV, most never offered before in a plastic ready-to-run model.

Hoge turned professional after graduating from college in 2011, initially on the Canadian Tour, where he won that year's Canadian Tour Players Cup. [3] He played on the Web.com Tour from 2012 through 2014; his best finishes were a pair of second-place finishes at the 2013 BMW Charity Pro-Am and the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in September 2015. I also ran the model with an MTH DCS system. Using this system I had all the functionality of running the model in DCC, and I could adjust the volume levels of individual sounds. Usually, the altitude at which a helicopter can hover at a given weight (and atmospheric conditions) is given for both HIGE and HOGE conditions. HOGE is much more restrictive compared to the HIGE. For example, the following image compares the hoer performance of R44 helicopter in and out of ground effect. Thomas Robert Hoge ( / ˈ h oʊ ɡ iː/; [2] born May 25, 1989) is an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour.Coffin, Jay (March 11, 2023). "Players 2023: Tom Hoge scorches Sawgrass to shoot course-record 62, vaults up leaderboard". Golf Digest . Retrieved March 11, 2023. Function 5 turns on the illuminated number boxes, the ditch lights, and cab interior light. The ditch lights are on only in the forward direction and flashed alternately when I sounded the horn. The cab interior light is on only when the locomotive is stopped. The Rapido U25B locomotive will see features that have never been offered in in any current U25B on the market. From correctly positioned and working class lights (both front and rear), beacons, step lights (only on low nose variants), different phase details, and specific to the road details and parts, along with the trusted silky-smooth drive, this is one locomotive you won’t want to miss out on! The prototype. Entering production in 2005, the GE ES44AC (Evolution Series 4,400 hp with alternating-current traction motors) was built to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s strict Tier II emissions regulations. The locomotive’s GEVO 12-cylinder diesel engine produces as much horsepower as the 16-cylinder engine in the ES44AC’s predecessor, the AC4400CW, while providing greater fuel economy and fewer emissions. Function 5 also turns on the hybrid demonstrator’s unique animated charging lights along the sills. The green lights chase outward when the locomotive is in motion and chase inward when the locomotive brakes or idles. On the prototype these lights were meant to call attention to the locomotive’s unique hybrid dynamic braking system.

The model. The dimensions of the MTH model match prototype ES44AC drawings in the November 2004 Model Railroader. The remote-opening couplers are a scale foot longer than prototype measurements. User-installed Kadee- compatible non-remote couplers with shorter shanks are included. Rapido Trains is pleased to announce an all-new group of HO scale locomotives – the General Electric 44-Ton diesel. Bauer, Walter et al.(2001) A Greek–English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, Third edition, Chicago: University of Chicago Press Including the headlight, the ES44AC features 29 user-triggered functions. The horn blast and bell sounded like the prototypes I’ve heard when railfanning.All of the functions can be remapped, which is especially useful for modelers with throttles that don’t support 28 functions. I remapped function buttons 3 and 4 so that I could manually notch the prime mover sounds independent of the locomotive speed. Tom Hoge takes one-shot lead into final round at Waialae". Golf.com. Associated Press. January 13, 2018. Also commonly called “44-tonners,” these locomotive’s compact design was driven by a 1937 labor agreement with the railroad unions that specified that all locomotives over 90,000 pounds required the use of a fireman. At a target weight of 44-tons (88,000 pounds), these diesels allowed the railroads to use only an engineer, thus saving crew costs. They were perfect for light switching, industrial and shop use.

Born in Statesville, North Carolina, Hoge was raised and still resides in Fargo, North Dakota. [3] After graduating from Fargo South High School in 2007, [4] he played college golf at Texas Christian University, where he won two events. [5] [6] [7] Hoge tied for third in the individual portion of the 2009 NCAA Championship, [5] and also won several North Dakota and Minnesota amateur titles. [5] [8] Professional career [ edit ] Hoge (far left) with Matt Cullen, Amy Olson and Josh Duhamel at a charity golf event, 2020. The Evolution Hybrid paint scheme on the model features sharp color separation and matches prototype photos. Warning stencils and other paint details are properly placed, including the United States Department of Energy seal on both sides of the locomotive.The locomotive cab is detailed with separate windshield wipers, sun shades, and rear view mirrors. Two painted crew figures occupy the interior. DCC and DCS. I tested the locomotive with several DCC systems, and it accelerated smoothly to a top speed of 80 scale mph. The prototype has a 75 mph top speed. Setting the DCC throttle to 128 speed steps offered much finer control, especially at low speed. Using this setting, the model crept along smoothly at 1 scale mph in speed step 1. Ground effect is a condition where the performance of the aircraft increases while operating near a firm surface. In general, a helicopter is considered to be in ground effect when it is hovering less than one-half of its rotor diameter from the ground and the effects become negligible when the helicopter is more than a rotor diameter above the ground.
