I suspect that you need to increase your sim flying time and decrease your USENET posting time... I already spend much more time simming than posting, but sometimes I have questions. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Because of the way a compass is mounted, it will briefly tend to continue moving after a turn. Yes. So? Um... no! The compass does not "briefly tend to continue moving after a turn" but it has a well defined turn error, which should more accurately be called bank error. If you understand this error, you can tell your heading at each moment during the whole turn. Stefan |

Mxsmanic,
So the compass cannot always be trusted. Yes, it can. Compass turning error is well-defined - any pilot understands it and takes it into account. Again and again: Why can't you acknowlegde that there are things you don't know anything about? Just shut your mouth and learn instead of coming back with smart*ss comments over and over again. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Listen. Many people here have tried to tell you they are not "the idle rich". Quit spouting utter BS. What are you trying to achieve? Thomas, it is obvious from this and the "small planes are toys" comment of his that he is just trying to get a rise out of many. I think this is a good time for the killfile and "ignore thread" features of your newsreader. Perhaps, then, Mr M. can ponder the metaphysical thought, "What is the sound of one troll posting?" -- Peter |

Stefan,
Because of the way a compass is mounted, it will briefly tend to continue moving after a turn. Yes. So? Um... no! The compass does not "briefly tend to continue moving after a turn" but it has a well defined turn error, Please! Not you, too! Your "well defined turn error" does indeed lead to the fact that the compass "willbriefly tend to continue moving after a turn." Which is why I said yes to affirm that statement. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

For one thing, the rich aren't going to be interested in flying in a noisy, cramped, slow machine decorated with cheap, crumbling Royalite. The idle rich fly in jets decked out in exotic woods and fine upholstery, with uniformed pilots and a staff to cater to their every whim. Those of us who DO fly these noisy, cramped, slow machines constantly scrimp, save, and scrounge to find some way to keep doing it. We consider it a gross insult to have our scrimping and saving dismissed as "idle rich." Frequently, the idle rich go into politics, where they focus on making life even more difficult for those of us who are trying to scrimp and save. That's apart from the question of whether there's really such a group as "the idle rich." According to one economist's study, inherited wealth only accounts for 9% of the net worth of the nation's richest 1%. The rest of them made it the old fashioned way, they earned it. RK Henry |

Which is why I said yes to affirm that statement. Ah, but no! Turn to the right and level your wings at 270°, and I accept every bet that your compass will *not* continue to move. (Other than shake with the turbulence, of course, and provided your bank angle allowed it to move at all in the first place.) In fact, it has stopped to move well before reaching 270°. Shall I add the second example? (Nitpicking, but what else would you expect in r.a.p.) Stefan |
