I'll bet the Australians use something even better than either
of us :-))
Their conveyor belts go in the opposite direction.

aiee, I need a vacation.


..and their airplanes fly upside down too :-))
They'd say you're entitled to your point of view....


It IS amazing when one stops to actually visualize it; the round
globe; the other side of it; and flying in the same sky upside down
relative to each other but right side up relative to the individual
localities. It's of course obvious to us in the macro sense, but
when you REALLY get down to the micro visualization of it
all................ :-))))




Bucky Fuller amy have said it best when he said that up and down are
completely innacurate. The correct terms for a pilot should be in and
out..

I think he was talking about flying, anyway..

You run into this when you start explaining left and right vs inside
and top or outside rudder when dealing with slow rolls :-)


Yes, I've been doing that with one of my current students in
anticipation of the arrival of the airplane,
Or rather, he's been reading a lot and asking me questions about how you
know which way to twist the controls inverted. I just told him it's
easier to see when your head is upside down! For inverted flight, you
push the stick as normal for the direction of roll without concerning
yourself with L/R labels. and the rudder just goes in the dirction you
want the nose to go. Simple. For rolls, it's the same with the addition
of top/bottom rudder for the knife edge transition.. Sound reasonable?
