wrote: A change in height is not an indication that the vertical component of the total aerodynamic force is less or more than weight. Only an accelerating change in height indicates an imbalance in forces. Constant climbs, constant descents, fully developed spins, etc. all have the vertical component equal to weight. Sorry, I wrote before I thought. I meant "no change in acceleration" and didn't catch that he had stated "Steady sinking" and "fully developed" He's right. I'll go crawl away now...
