RF, myself and others, have picked up on your many posts which have multiple questions, scenrios and scientific insights.
With utmost respect, I admire your enquiring mind and keeness for knowledge, but am asking myself, is this guy enjoying the journey to his licence?
Tell us about your first solo which really will get the adrenaline pumping, and how much you enjoy flying a stabilised approach to a greaser!
Dont concern yourself with the details of the Lift formula, just accept it, and query it down the track if you dont believe it.
I apologise if i am on the wrong track with my thoughts and dont want to offend you, maybe others can put it better than me.
Just enjoy the thrill of flying!!!
