ORIGINAL: dick Hanson

Unless the craft can cause a pressure change under and ahead of it's self
what is it riding on?
a ground effect has to be SOMETHING which contributes to bouyancy -if not what is it?
Proper use of speed and rate of climb is another issue
"the speed needle has to increase faster than the rate of climb needle or you quickly return to starting point. I disregard nothing but also don't accept anything I can't proove.
“bouyancy” buoyancy?? Whatever floats your boat I guess but we were talking about airplanes. If my point by point responses to mikenlapaz questions in post #18 are incorrect or misleading please explain my error/s and provide references to creditable data sources.
Dick,
I’m new to this forum and have just read some of your over 10,000 posts on other threads. You’re a very prolific poster (average 100+/month) and obviously intelligent. I’m not sure which worries me most, that anyone that asks a serious question believes your inane responses or that you believe your responses. I understand that you want to “provoke thought out of the box” but it is irresponsible to do so in this or any other serious thread. I think you do the person asking the question, this forum, the RC community in general and yourself a disservice when you do this. Start your own thread titled RC extremes or how I can fly my plane with every thing crammed in the tail if you like. I’ll participate in that. Most of the rest of us mere mortals fly in the real world. If you wish to fly your plane that weighs nothing in a fantasy world using a liberal application of pixy dust and levitation, have fun.
