gene, it is nice to see that you came to your weak senses and agree with me and
the rest of the world.

gene, you are one horse**** pilot, if you are any pilot at all, for not
being
able to tell the difference between conventional gear and trikes.


Oh, I can tell the difference.... and the similarities.

Let me inform you a tad. when the aircraft is rolling with the tail down,
the
angle of attack one side of the prop circle is greater than on the other
side,
because of the forward movement of the craft. The side of the prop with
great
a of a developes more thrust and pulls the aircraft forward faster than the
other side of the prop. than means the aircraft pulls to one side. This is
often (erroneously) referred to a P-Torque, because it feels like the engine
is
torqueing the aircraft to the side. In fact, it is P-Thrust, or asymetrical
thrust that is causing the aircraft to veer.


You are amazingly close to correct. However, perhaps you should
consider that the angle of attack changes with respect to relative
wind.... and that changes when the taildragger (and the tricycle gear
to a lesser extent) transitions to flight attitude. You knew that,
right? Or did you think that they just popped up into the air?

be carefull, gene. Remember what the FAA taught you, "Safety is no
accident".


So... this is evidence that you are an authority on the FAA, too! How
many FAA certifications or designations do you hold?

You need to do some boning up on your pilot skills, gene, or maybe hang up
your
googles.


You can see all of this in your monitor? Having visions?...... are
you wearing those too-tight speedos again?
