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.

On another topic, the Aussie dollar is quickly pushing imports like the
Lightning off our radar. We've lost 40% in 4 months against the
greenback. 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
