  1. Make an airplane with your right hand
  2. Palm down
  3. Fingers together
  4. Bank your airplane 30 degrees to the left
  5. Slide your airplane hand to the left due to the now horizontal component of lift
  6. Take your left index finger and push on your vertical stab
  7. Watch your airplane magically weathervane
My boss walked in .... probably to check out why I was making the noise of a radial engine ....'right hand' plane rolled onto its back and disappeared into thin air !
