Default RE: Is right thrust always applicable?

Bill, I checked out that thread. Plenty of info there for future reference. Why do I have the feeling that you are somehow related with aeronautics professionaly? Do I observe keen knowledge here not normally associated with someone who repairs Maytag Wash Machines for a living.

You know.....on that topic....it reminds me of the time I got involved on the old RCONLINE with some guy from Holland. Man, did this guy shoot me a bunch of mathematical equations to summarize the current condition of aerodynamics with my plane. I had no clue how the answer was derived from all of the EMC2 he illustrated back to me, but appreciated the answer. (Which in laymens terms, amounted to a "Yes, Randall it will fly") I'll never forget when I told him that I was impressed with his mathematical brilliance, and surelly he must be an engineer or professeur, or something like that. He posted back to tell me "No Randall, actually I operate an Elevator here in Amsterdam! I learned the math in college.)

Gosh, what a country America is Huh! We can't speak Dutch or a second language (or our own language properly), add or subtract without the help of a calculator, but still don't have to stoop so low as to operate an elevator.

Thank you too Baron for your input. Sounds like this would be something to take into serious consideration when building and flying pattern.
