People, if you are going to answer any of the AUKk00ks, remove any
mention of any NG with the word "kook" in it. The AUKk00ks are
actually harmless if left to themselves.


And they're dangerous, when?

Uh. OK

Well just think how embarrased you would be if you had the bombs on
the top of the wing.

Hmmm. Our plane has positive dihedral and 2 hard points on each wing.

With all of the expert* pilots here, why would bombs on the top of the
wings be a problem? Go inverted, much better visibility toward the
ground then, right? Then release, they'll fall away.


*Expert: you have to take the word into its component parts: Ex is a
has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

Our airplane says no more than 30 degree pitch and 60 degree bank, so
we would not be putting bombs on the top of our wings. As for up? Who
here could you ask for reliable directions "Can you show me the way to
up, please?" That actually does raise some interesting questions --
it's far to subtle to matter to airplane flight, but I wonder how
accurately "up" can be measured, and how big is the average absolute
error compared to something starting at the exact center of the earth.
For that matter, how would you find the exact center?

Actually, thinking about this again, doesn't "negative dihedral" mean you don't have the dihedral?
