    Subject: Re: Milestone passed by N31BZ
    I do know understand what "stuff' is but I do know that when I take off in my Lightning it immediately rolls to the left (coriolis effect) until the wheels are pointing towards the blue and the fin is pointing towards the green which at this time of the year is turning brown. I guess it must have something to do with the American made A/h as it now is has the blue up and the brown down as I look at it. Now if you fitted an Aussie made A/H to a Jabiru and took off in America it would roll right (coriolis effect). Another problem I have encounted when doing a x-country in the Lightning is reading the charts, they where designed for Jabirus in Australia and reading them in reverse does pose some problems but if you use them as sun shades (not required in the Jabiru) it does orientate them for the southern hemisphere.

Ouch! Still have the dream it will all come good again. Paul, I certainly understand what you are saying about the Aussie dollar vs. the US greenback, but what hurts you guys certainly helps us when buying the Jabiru engine. But as to purchasing a Lightning kit, remember that Nick develop "sub" kits so that you don't have to buy everything as once and allows a builder to get started without a large outlay of cash. You might want to consider that. I also understand the "reverse coriolis effect" down under, but have always wondered if "stuff" flows "uphill" when down under? Inquiring minds want to know. :-) Blue Skies, Buz _____ Play online games for FREE at Games.com!
