Well, I'm enjoying this. BTW, this thread is slowly becoming "F18 downwind steering". I was at the beach this morning. No wind at all, so plenty of time to discuss with the others. The discussion went on how to steer an F18 downwind with the spin up: I know, luff to gain speed, bear away to gain ground. Yes, but how often are those corrections made? Every 5 seconds? Every ten seconds? Once in a while?
