>From the feedback I have received, it seems the baseball through and javelin
throw are essentially the same from the aircraft point of view. However,
the javelin throw uses more of a stiff arm and the baseball throw uses a
bent elbow. The javelin throw seems to be the one to use.
Now, I thought I saw some footage of someone throwing by holding the nose
only of the plane. I guess this is what I was referring to. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
