Re: Sorry, another noob AR question/comparison
Most of this thread is like listening to race car mechanics talking about esoterica of their trade. To someone who never had an AR, it's strings of acronyms that don't ring a bell.

Re: The Pitchy Plane Project
The lady with the camera got it right, you need a lot longer rope. There are training setups where the glider sits in the bed of the truck and then you can feel the results of control inputs on the wings. Biggest issue I see is that you have no roll control. If you get airborn, (and I sincerely hope...

it kind looks like wing warp. those wings appear flimsy. there is an easy way to get aileron effects without making them. use spoilers on the top wing surface. that pushes the wing down when its lifted up, and doesn't require the other side to do anything. some model planes use this system.
