John
I generally avoid ad hominem arguments, but your postings are, in my opinion, egregious.
In this discussion you're just being obtuse and silly by starting an argument based on one premise (your post #4 in this thread) and switching the premise when your logic fails. But, in many threads you say dangerous and foolish things.
For example, in the "Gs – Blades and maneuver" thread a newbie asks for help. Jon and Jean Claude begin a cogent explanation. Then you interject foolish, dangerous drivel into the discussion. When you figure out you were in over your head you write “Well, I certainly screwed up that interpretation.”
It's much, much worse than a misinterpretation John.
You write:
"The fatigue of the blade root due to the alternate drag under g= 1 is much more constraining" means:
Gyroplanes are constrained to flying at "least one G" if you do not want to risk your rotor RPM decaying because of the blade root failing to produce the same lift.”
What does that mean? Jean Claude is describing a structural consequence and you're describing; what?
or.
“We are taught that if you find yourself in weather or pilot created negative G condition to enter a vertical descent to speed the blades back up and then slightly lower the nose and gently add power back in to straight and level.”
Huh? Taught by who?
Then you describe your “favorite” fixed wing maneuvers. The problem is you never performed either one of these maneuvers as described.
“Bob Hover taught me how to hold one G in a loop keeping a glass of water on the dash the entire time. “ (I'm assuming you meant Bob Hoover)
Please walk us through a 1G loop John? I assure you Bob Hoover never did one.
“The other is to ask a newbie passenger to hold a pen in their open hand at chest level.
Then reduce below 1 G exactly enough to keep the pen floating right in front of their nose.
Holding the pen exactly at nose level until I hit the red line (VNE) or 500 feet AGL and pull up.”
Uh-huh! Yeah. Sure.
You are describing stuff that couldn't happen. You interject yourself into serious discussions and it appears you don't have a grasp of what you are talking about.
John, when I read the writings of Vance Breese, Tyler Hathaway, Jon Stark, Abid Farooqui, Ron Awad, Ben Suissa, Jean Claude Debreyer, Greg Vos, Leigh Allison, Jamie Wolfe, Stan Foster, Brian Rodgers, and dozens of others, I receive valuable information; usually written entertainingly. Their writings make me grateful that they share their thoughts. These folks walk the walk.
When I read your posts, I read random, disjointed, inaccurate, untrue, Walter Mitty prattle that is literally painful to read and dangerous to those that might believe you.
Read, study, and ask questions of those who really do have the knowledge you pretend to have.
