I trust you are suitably chastened by JTs response to your upbraiding of Tee Emm
Please don't think that I was criticising Parabellum. He, also, is a very experienced pilot and one whom I regard highly... and I love his motto.
The point of my post was to try to steer the discussion back onto the main points in contention. As always, the aim of the game is to play the ball, not the player.
but my piece of string with a weight on it clipped to the eye rail will!
.. actually, that doesn't work unless you manage to maintain steady straight and level flight by some other means ... such a weight is subject to the net force vector, not gravity alone.
The weight will get you into strife very quickly. Was it Bob Hoover who did the "barrel roll while filling a glass of water" party trick ? .. same thing applies.
