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.
