Most of the VOR terminology mentioned in this thread is correct, but that
doesn't make it useful for a beginner.


You can't have one from me.

Learn and use a VOR the way it was designed: as an instrument which
tells you your *position*, *not* your course line, and you'll never
have a problem with reverse sensing.

What is wrong with percieving
radials as going through a station instead of as spokes on a wheel?


If you do it that way, you're not perceiving radials, you're
perceiving lines. If you want to follow an arrow to your course, use
an ADF. VOR's are better for position detection.
