A Google Groups alternative to rec.aviation.piloting?

Buttman could refer to someone who enjoys looking at women's buttocks, which
is a highly heterosexual behavior for a man.

Well you're the one calling homo's dumb.

I haven't called homosexuals anything.

Are you speakin' from experience or is that statement
a result of a sim?

So you call them nothing.

Compared to playing golf, or owning a 1/2 assed boat,
flying is still a cheap hobby. What a $100/hr gets you
a rental with a CFI, of course if you "Mx" is an invalid,
then that's different...are you?

Neither, it's simply logic.

Right.

I don't understand the question.

Ok, have you ever been in a sail boat?

Well you must try it.
Your doing a tack with the sail fully stable suckin'
energy from the wind, cuttin' water and bouncin'
waves off the starboards, that's the sound you hear.

Next, you reverse tact and the sail flutters (stalls)
until re-acquistion of stability going in nearly the
opposite direction and you're still heading into the
wind, so the net motion is into the wind. Every pilot
should do that. I was on trapeze, with a good fat old
captain on the til, and me being a skinny lively bitch
loved jumped to either side of the boat, pulling the
sail to max the energy out of the wind.

First you say you wouldn't want to be in the cockpit with a homosexual,
then you refer to yourself as a "bitch".

Very strange.

(This is why I like unmoderated groups.)

I can't swim, which is bad if you intend to go out on the ocean in a tiny
boat.

Nope, you're a dfjukktard. A sail luffing is the opposite of what a stall
is, you moron.

Good grief, you're straight out of ALice in Wondeland, you are.

On our boat we put the crew to the windward side to keep the mast more
vertical. We adjust the sail by pulling on the correct strings, and
it depends on the tack as to which is the lee rail going awash.

As for stalling a sail -- on a beat there's lots of flow separation on
the low pressure side of the sail, but it continues to drive the boat.
The luffing at the trailing edge just means there's marginal flow
separation there, not at the leading edge. If you want to really see a
sail stall, do a jibe, not a come about. If you don't duck you'll
learn soon enough why the part sweeping across the cockpit is called a
boom.
