Hey bud, was going to PM you this but realized I can't so I will go into further detail to demonstrate to the community here a portion of the belittling comments posed towards me from the begining. Here are some of my early posts:

Shdw, not picking on you, but I guess I have to spell it out.
Not to play the who started it game?

Most of these were an attempt to both inform and defend myself against these attacks. Here is a brief *cough* list of those attacks, including the initial one from above:

Not sure where you are getting this stuff, but it is wrong in so many ways I have to guess you are just making it up as you go.
61
I
suggest you write Boeng and let them know of your opinion, perhaps they will hire you as a consultant. Perhaps not.
63
At this juncture, we must label you as "highly advanced" and bow to the future of aviation.
70
I fully understand that you are talking (typing) out both sides of your mouth.
75
I am sure you and your Captain will work things out to his satisfaction.
93
Just humor us poor old fools with multiple heavy jet type ratings. I'll let you and flyingchicken take the floor and 'splain it so even we can understand.
What manner of aerospace machinery are you performing these feats of domination over physical law with, if you don't mind my asking?
I'm always open to tips, but I just havn't been able to make much sense of it so far. Forgive my ignorance and carry on!
Here is the real kicker, in all the bashing to this point those doing the bashing still had yet to figure out what was even going on or how the procedure worked!!!
In post 98 KC figures it out, or claims he does which he did earlier, but for argument sake lets just assume he does at this point:
Shdw, don't take this personal. Now that I finally fully understand your technique (before it wasn't clear), here is an explaination as to why I do not like it.
In post 83, jungle still doesn't know what the heck is going on:
Uh, no it is quite the opposite. Upwind side thrust is increased to align the aircraft, this doesn't stop drift and requires more down wing to stop it and this makes it especially unsuitable for aircraft with limited pod clearance.
I am still unsure if he has figured it out yet or not. Judging by the increased belittling, even attacking my row boat scenario which was designed to break it down Barny style for the poor fella got belittled later, but that is besides the point. However, it is ironic that he did seem to get it, with this analogy no less, shortly after that in post 114, that is if he has realized the correlation:
Get your boat and ores as before. Switch on motor and boat moves forward. Stick left ore into water - boat yaws left, and will continue to yaw left until..... you put in some right rudder.
The end result is you end up with a boat going at a sideslip through the water.
I suspect he is still too busy devising cocky replies to my posts to have paid any attention to this though.
I find it extremely arrogant to sit and belittle a person repeatedly, instead of try and listen and understand what is being present, especially when one doesn't even grasp the concept being discussed. It is for this reason you have not seen me reply to any of their posts for the last few days. They obviously already know everything and certainly don't need basic aerodynamics explained to them from a little know nothing CFI.
Flyingchicken, I thank you for your words and will try to avoid that attitude you refer to in the future. I hope my visual presentations and explanations were helpful to you in discovering this wonderful technique to add to your toolbox for a rainy day. Take care bud.
