Will be interesting to see "PeeCeeElf" says the "original" question
was. I believe it was this variant though


Something like that Jim. The way I see it is that the question causes
more confusion than the inevitable outcome. Any way you look at it, the
aircraft will fly. You could turn that treadmill over at virtually any
speed and a little ultralight would probably blast off.

I did have problems with the way the question was worded (originally)
but I've cleared it up in my feeble mind. I'm Australian, and ya gotta
talk a little s-l-o-w-e-r for us cobbers to understand what ya sayin'.
It must be all that time I've spent flying inverted.. all the blood has
rushed to my head
