the rest of us can't hope to match your grasp of aeronautics
You're right, I did indeed say that. I've seen nothing in your subsequent posts to make me change my view.

and i missed the bit where i claimed that it [momentum] was [a force]
Happy to help you recall:

Your post #43:
in a glider the only thrust you have is in fact the momentum you have
Your post #59:
yes its called thrust because the momentum is PUSHING the glider upwards against gravity
I rest my case.
