http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvRzWYCZ2e0 Best Regards, Gary Osoba Yup, it's winter.. If this is going to work we have to understand the engineering aspects of cats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHXBL...eature=channel If we could just figure out how to get the cats to sand our wings.

Chris The point seems to be that a cat and some jelly would then prevent landouts?!! No, some cats some CARPET and some jelly would prevent landouts, sheesh. Obviously with the winglet reference, there is a strategic place to attach some white carpet on the wingtips to get the cats to rotate above, thus reducing wingtip vortices. Actually a rather ingeneious method of dynamically dealing with the problem instead of the standard passive aerodynamic tip treatments. The real trick is to get the cats spinning the correct direction, from there it's a snap. -Paul |

But you'll never be able to find a thermal; while you are in sink the
cats will be screaming "Can I has cheeseburger" and you'll think it is the audio on your vario.

Nyal's reference to cheeseburgers may have escaped most (but not all) glider pilots. Living in a cat-house, I know that he is referring to http://icanhascheezburger.com web site. Enjoy. - John |
