Perhaps all the wives in the dining room might have requested it? Looks all funny when squashed against glass anyhow. Nev

I've always regarded the significant factor was the wing warping and the ability to easily bank the plane in turns. I've read all of that link. Aeroplanes are the mainwings and they describe vertical rudders and horizontal rudders. Replace those two with the word stabiliser and it is easier to interpret. The absence of a keel surface makes control complicated .The Bristol BOXKITE overcame that and a covered fuselage dose a lot of it in later aircraft.. Hargreaves boxkites and Lilienthal's glider work certainly influenced the wright's product. They went over board on patents and thought they could tie all what made planes fly, was "THEIR" work and derive royalties into the future. The large delay in publically presenting it to the world made a lot doubt there was anything special in it., but as I said the appearance at Paris around 1908 ??allayed most of that when it performed figure 8's etc at low level perfectly.

You can "appeal" any determination THEY make. I haven't lost one yet but you better know what you're on about and I wouldn't have done one when the Robodebt farce was on.. Nev

Other planes turned on the rudder without any roll control. A FLAT turn (Like the Flying Flea) which does it better than most because of the bent wing. I don't know how you'd keep straight on take off without the rudder. When the Wright's did eventually turn up in Paris the French were very impressed with the manoeuvring ability of the Plane and built them Under licence in France. Nev

Planes like the "Flyer" have no keel surface and slip to the lower wing even well above the stall situation. The reason it couldn't stay in the air was lack of power. The first engine had about 16 Horsepower The forward elevator was also "touchy" as they can be. They must have had to LEARN to fly quickly. Nev

Metho has a bad taste added to it to make it unpalatable. People used to add Nugget bootpolish to it for the sweet tase of nitrobenzene. Ya gotta be desperate. I believe the grog is most of the problem and for whiteys too that are dysfunctional and "off their Brain". most days. Nev

Has "someone" put their name to that because it is presented as someone's opinion very much. There are plenty of places in Europe where neighbouring "tribes' don't understand each other's language. The absence of a flag means nothing whatever. Thats not needed for them to know who they are. The English Garden was unsuitable to this place and monoculture is also not suitable on a grand scale. People took what they needed and no more so things were not wiped out.. Because they were SO different it was assumed they were inferior, but they lived with the land not modifying and poisoning it. Property was shared and that aided survival in a harsh land. They didn't accumulate personal wealth items as that would be a hindrance when you moved on. All those EMPIRES came and went and left their relics and wealth behind often wasting slaves lives to build exotic tombs for their spirits to live forever. It's all pointless really and was mostly about POWER for a few to rule over the others. . Nev

Merdey had better find the REAL god soon as he can't live forever. He's a PAPAL Knight. so I guess he's put his hopes there.. Once a knight is enough they say. Nev

Warren Mundine is ALL OVER the PLACE particularly since HE married GERARD HENDERSON"S Daughter. Henderson is very anti Labor / weird Howard worshipping side of things as best I can describe it. He used to be a frequent commentator on the Insiders show where he was suitably irrelevant to be unable to be have his views taken seriously by anyone. and hasn't been there in a long time, thankfully.

The Greens have decided to back it and allow Thorpe her own vote as she's very vocal about other priorities. I must confess I find her view on many things hard to follow the logic of. Surely the premature STAND of the NP and Litteproud to go so hard so soon in the piece and not allow the toing and froing to be taken account of is staged. It's a long time till the Decision has to be made and some NATS have indicated they will vote for it. I would see Hanson opposing it as predictable and would be alarmed and amazed IF SHE did agree to it. You would want to know what unified this particular group AT THIS PARTICULAR time also. Nev
