You still don't realize you're describing your current behavior here?
The only point I am asserting I am right about (which was in response to you once again unjustifiably starting on hlbly) is that you troll as much as the next man, just with more subtle packaging. Trying to take the moral high ground afterwards and implying you get trolled by people of lesser intellect while only making contributions is simply your method to wriggle out of criticism for it (to which you seem particularly sensitive to).
Ok nrshida, you continue with the gushing and I'll take the technical questions that you can't handle.
Let's review your technical contribution to this thread:-
I don't know what it adds to the drag coefficient.
I have a P-38 pilot manual AAF 51-171-1 that doesn't mention drag at all...
I doubt it's overlooked.
<snip>
Start of irrelevant nonsense about the TAS not increasing (even though you later claim you agree with the point you are arguing with).
So we agree the screen shots don't illustrate any part of this discussion?
Are you just trolling now?
(I include this last quote to prevent implications on your part that I'm the only one that thinks you troll).
Then you upload some
P-47 flight data which you say states nothing about dive flap drag.
So actually FLS, you've taken precisely NO technical questions that I or anyone else can't handle, contributed nothing technical at all and done nothing but muddy the waters on this issue and harass the OP with irrelevancies and pointless criticism.
Like I say, continuing to use 'begging the question', 'escape hatch', 'moving the goalposts' and your other favourite logical fallacies in this and other threads makes you a hypocrite, and just as much a troll / griefer as if someone were to imply that someone else were an arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic horse's arse with Asperger's, who'd rather derail a thread than be seen to be wrong. Ever, for instance.
I actually find your technical contributions rather simplistic, bookish, unimaginative and yet condescending all at the same time, which is why I hold my present opinion of you.
If you were as technically fantastic as you think you are, genuinely more intelligent than the rest of us, and your only purpose was to make positive contributions (which I think is dishonest of you at best) in an environment of stupid people then why don't you produce equations to calculate the drag of the P-38 dive recovery devices?
