I think my instructor and I came to the conclusion that my airplane didn't
have lift; it had scare. The way I flew, the Earth just naturally pulled
away from me.

Gee, I better start ground school again.

I always thought lift demons were actually pushing the Earth from
underneath the airplanes when you pointed the empennage downward.
(Although it might be still the case here in Canada. We are a weird
bunch up here, anyways...)

Hesitation point rolls are a lot of fun for a pilot watching lift
demons. It's an absolute riot to watch them scramble off the wings and
onto the fuselage then back again as the roll progresses. The most I've
ever been able to disturb them this way was 16.
Australian lift demons can't seem to figure out which side of the wing
to climb onto when they're here in the states, but they get even when
ours opt for an outback vacation on their time shares.

I actually wrote something almost serious about this amazing 'new'
theory, but most posters have dealt with it so much better that I shall
leave it as a draft.

I love the lift demons, although my aerodynamics lecturer did not give
me a good grounding in them I am afraid. Next time Dudley you must tell
me more. Are they related to the RAF's Gremlins? They were good and
bad. The good ones helped hold badly damaged aircraft together until
after they landed in WW2.

I see what you mean. You aren't before the US Senate like Cheney was.

Don't mean to be confrontational if I don't have to be, but you'll have
to forgive me, I have no idea what we are talking about here. That is I
know what I"M talking about , but the gist of your comment is just too
ambiguous for me to nail down. Perhaps if you could be a bit more
specific? I don't believe you and I have ever discussed anything
meaningful pertaining to aviation have we? I see the sometimes one liner
or two from you with some kind of non aviation remark like this one, but
seldom anything else.
Am I missing something here? Is this comment of yours some kind of
dig....or perhaps something "inside" for someone known only to you to
pick up on?
Do me a favor. Try saying it straight out and without the ambiguity.
I'll deal with it at that point if it's reasonable.
Thank you

Hi David;

The RAF Gremlins I think were the brainchild of Roald Dahl, who wrote a
book featuring them in the early forties I think. I remember an artist
painting for the book showing the little buggers climbing all over a
Spitfire.
Bader loved the gremlins. DB blamed everything on them including
whispering in Keith Park's left ear while he was sleeping that "big
wings were good policy for fighter command! :-)
.. He even nicknamed one of the Germans at Colditz after them.
I'd say the Gremlins are pretty much in the same league as the lift
demons, but I think their work was a bit more mischievous!! :-)

I would imagine you probably view me in the usual Usenet way and
wouldn't lose a moment's sleep if I crashed and burned tomorrow.
Typical Usenet posters, you and me......not friends......not
enemies.

Not at all! I've greatly enjoyed the wisdom and experience you
bring
to this group and your presence in it is one of my biggest reasons
for
check it every day. I'm sure I am not the only one that would feel
the poorer if you decided to drop out. As for crashing and
burning, I
don't even want to thing about it.

Thank you for the kind thought, which I'm fairly certain will
probably
be negated by someone else before the thread dies out, but thank you
anyway.

Dudley,

I too would be most upset to find that you had crashed and burned...
Unlsess of course, Iwan Bogels got it on video and I could entertain
myself with the fiery spectacle of your demise!

If your post was meant tongue in cheek, be advised I don't know you and
you don't know me well enough to say something like this to me. If you
meant it the other way, go f**k yourself!

Dudley,

It was meant tongue in cheek. Thought it was obvious, but I guess I
should have put in a JK or ).

Anyway, sorry you didn't see the humor. I don't know you and you
don't know me... Pretty much the same deal with 99% of the
individuals on these net newsgroups. If we can only joke around with
individuals we personally know and are close to, then these groups are
going to become quite dull...

Sorry again are sense of humor doesn't mesh. Fly safe.

The rec.aviation.piloting newsgroup is meant to be INFORMATIVE not
comedic. Read the charter.

He's right. My lift alien explained this to me the other day.
