Brad,

You're right. I had thought that the proposal to change it to just a sharp corner had been passed. I just looked and it hasn't. The only plane I've ever seen that could actually fly a 5 foot radius corner was Rich Porter's Ridiculous.

Helium is harder to come by, but we can split water with a flashlight battery, two electrodes, and a test tube collector; and hydrogen density is half of helium!

Isn't it time we started filling our stunt ships with hydrogen, to get some extra lift and offset the weight?

Oh I know this won't fix inertial issues, but it is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Yes I would like to see that lit candle on a Hydrogen filled plane! I would also Nitrate Dope it to recreate the Hindenberg more closely! #^
