Sorry Gordon, think my post about wings presentation was intended for Johnfairr.(See post 1206 Johnfairr) I get muxed ip easily these days.
Keep up the good work, it brings back many memories to me. Reminds me of when I devised a new method of flying 'under the hood' (previously mentioned), and decided to use it the following day. The idea was to use the rate of climb indicator to fly straight and level, not knowing that there was a delay of about four seconds before the needle moved. This resulted in a large up and down movement of the aircraft which didn't cease until my not very patient instructor shouted "Sh one dot T son, I have a lil ol sister who can fly better than you" He never tried to find out the cause, which I think a good instructor would have done. I am sure I would have done so if our positions had been reversed.
