rubbish lz, i trained at el monte on enstroms with dean cayot in 77 and on the first production robbie at pacific wing and rotor with tim tucker on long beach airport.

i was the first person from australia to do so.

i learnt the american way. basically no aerodynamic theory at all.

i have been teaching theory for twenty years and have never heard so much inane comment by you about "different concepts of the theory of flight".

there are of course arguments about how it
works and that's good fun. newtons third law of every action etc, and it just beats the crap out of the air, but the notion that things work differently at different positions on the earth is ludicrous.

the fact is that designers create machines that work using the theory or fact that exists on the day. if they don't work they design it better.

if it is designed against that concept there is a pretty good chance that it will fail.

one of the ideas that i try to get through to students is that if you don't understand how helicopers work you won't be able to make them work properly and i have managed to train some pretty good ones over the years.

sanity and logic must prevail in the long run.

it could be assumed that you write purely to antagonise and that is your only motive. if this is the right concept that i and others have then you are immensly successful.

it seems that you cannot see that you are usually the only one out of step in the whole army.
