What, me, facts? It's just one of my little quirks. > it really > makes me wonder why you insist on going with the "facts" even though > you were unable to provide any, 1) First of all, that's not true. On 12/06/2008 05:55 PM, I provided an image that could provide factual answers to at least some of the questions that have come up in this thread. I asked whether it was the sort of information that was desired. If anybody wants to discuss what can and cannot be learned from such pictures, please let us know. 2) I'll make you a deal: I won't question your motives, if you will stop questioning mine. 3) But since you asked: Why should I spend my time and money gathering more facts, if you place zero value on the facts that I have already provided? 4) Why should I spend my time and money gathering more facts, when I asked what facts were wanted and got no reply, and indeed was told on 12/06/2008 04:02 PM that facts were of no interest unless they appeared in an authoritative reference manual. Apparently facts are more appreciated today, and I encourage that ... However ...... The previous question remains: If somebody could say more precisely what facts are wanted, please let us know. It would greatly facilitate the task of gathering such facts. As previously mentioned, possibilities include: *) Pitch attitude in level flight at some specified indicated airspeed? *) Pitch attitude while parked, unoccupied? *) Pitch attitude while taxiing, occupied? *) Pitch attitude just prior to touchdown? *) Degree of landing gear extension/compression? *) Lift versus AoA? *) Drag versus AoA? *) Drag versus flaps? *) Incidence versus flaps? *) Trim versus flaps? *) Trim versus flaps*power? (!) *) et cetera????? If nobody can say what facts are wanted, then maybe we need to take a step back and re-examine what problem(s) we are trying to solve, and why. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
