Then you can ponder which of those 2 options depending on you thermalling direction preference. I point mine up so I'm less likely to bend it. Ironic how you accuse Kirk of limited thinking and yet you yourself use a technique which gives you a mere four total options. When the time comes to insert my TE probe, I get out my iPhone and have it generate a random number in the range [0, 2pi). I then orient my TE probe to the angle that this represents in radians. In this manner I eliminate human bias and therefore increase thermalling performance. -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon |
