[RCSE] who is the father of DS
who ever invented DS is a genius! It took me 2 long days to really figure it out on the slope. at some point I thought DS was a total BS and was so close to giving up. I had instructions from magazines, advice from RCSE, watched all the DS video, and it was still very hard to figure it out by myself. how could someone just invented it out of nothing?

[RCSE] Who is the father of DS
Message text written by Raymond Wong who ever invented DS is a genius! And just think, DS is just a tiny fringe-benefit of HIS other inventions, like the Earth, The Sky, and the laws of physics. If you want to REALLY be impressed look at some of His other leaps of creation... like life...DNA...freewill... John Roe Laguna Hills, Ca www.martialartsacademy.org "Nature makes no leaps" Charles Darwin Many don't realize that Darwin came to realize before he died that Evolution, at least from one dissimilar species to another, was untenable in the light of new advances. This hasn't stopped his theory from being perpetuated as a religion, since as absurd as it is, it still is preferable to some than the alternative- being accountable. Historically this is not unique, eventually science will catch up. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[RCSE] who is the father of DS, Not JW
In response to the numerous posts regarding DS, Joe Wurts did not invent DS. Not to take anything form Joe since he is an excellent pilot, but considering him as the inventor would be like comparing the Wright brothers to the designers of a P-51 or equivalent. ---SNIP--- I don't understand the above comparison (or is this more Heavenly thinking?), but since albatrosses did the trick first, DS was "recognized", not "invented". Furthermore, I think it's misleading to suggest that the type of DS described by Dr. Ferdinand Hendricks, which is clearly "albatross" DS (ADS?), is the same as the DS that Joe Wurts recognized was occurring (WDS?), and then quickly mastered, at Parker Mtn. These are quite different implementations of DS although they both employ the same principle. ADS exploits a gradual and relatively small speed gradient over land or water, with higher speed aloft and lower speed beneath, while WDS exploits a sharp and very large (with enough wind!) boundary between wind moving over and beyond an obstruction and the dead air beneath and downwind of the obstruction. WDS is a spectacularly more effective implementation of the DS principle than is ADS, and Dr. Hendricks, though he may be commended for his suggestion to imitate albatrosses, apparently did not recognize the goldmine of WDS aeronautical energy. I think it's obvious that Joe Wurts deserves 98% of the credit for getting this DS thing going (WDS, that is), and I wonder what the agenda might be for anyone arguing otherwise. Thanks Joe for a brand new addiction, and for all those smashed planes. I think I speak here for lots of happy and over-adrenalined pilots.
