Doug,

I had to respond once again to your "UP" question. When you sit on a
Kitchen Chair you create a downward force the chair creates a "UP" force
equal to your down force.

Doug, does the chair move up? Of course not. Does it create LIFT? Damn
right it does and in a "UP" direction.

Bye

Sure.
Not equal in all cases though, otherwise chairs would never
tip over or break, nyet?

Doug, does the chair move up? Of course not.

Because you created the down force first.

... Does it create LIFT? Damn

But if it had wings, it would go faster.

Actually there is a difference between "upward force" and
lift. You can throw a brick into the air, is that creating
lift? I thought that by asking about 'lift' and 'up'
together in the same sentence, it would be fairly clear what
I meant. Maybe not.

Doug,

You're grasping now. Playing word games really won't do it.

I do think you've been Busted.

Did I make up those we sites detailing how wing keels work?

Did I make up that Australia 2 was faster downwind? No,
somebody else brought that up... it was you!

At what? Trying to talk sense with Boobsie?

Doug,

Trying to talk sense with Nutsy only unmasks your own stupidity. Just as
I'm doing with you.

I didn't post Vacanti Web. I didn't mention end plates.

No, Bubbles did... maybe you should review what he said
about them and see if it makes sense to you.

And I quote....


"The "end plate effect" has been the Achilles heal of the wing design
for many years. By creating a larger leading edge aligned with the
winglets we can redirect water flow around that section. This, in
theory, creates less drag than typically, where a large vortex is
formed beneath and behind the keel."

Gee, I wonder who wrote that. Maybe Doug King of Keels will know?
