Agreed.

My biggest concern is not to convince those who ''know what they know'', as they may be intransigent anyway. I learned that lesson in the downwind turn thread and another concerning a viper crash. It's a ''You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink'' sort of thing.

Rather, I'm more concerned about the casual reader who is curious about crow, comes here looking for informed advice, and might then leave here thinking that a temporarily inverted camber somehow actually does create more lift and a lower stall speed. [X(]

If I can help just one guy there then it's worth it. Usually.

Peace y'all

Don, you and I and many others know that reflexed t/es reduce camber etc and the subsequent affect in Lift coefficient. However it's worth remembering that this thread started after someone suggested that the stalling speed of a BVM Sabre could be reduced by the use of crow. Having a Sabre, I contradicted that suggestion because it's simply not true. However the same guy suggested that airliners make level turns using differential spoilers "for passenger comfort ". Make what you will of that !

David.
