how you going to see it with the car at speed? (picturing Joe and Lionel
running beside the car....)
We had a string applied to the outside bubble of the Huges 300 we flew.. to
tell if we had the helicopter in Trim or not....It worked Pretty good but
it only told us about a trimmed condition.... how is this going to tell you
about airflow without taping it....
If you want I will bring the Printer and Playback box this weekend and we
can try downloading your LTM tape recorder and Printing the run...
