Title: Can you use rudder pedals? Take the Rudder Pedal Aptitude Test
Post by: MOSQ on December 19, 2005, 07:33:57 PM: Think you can use rudder pedals to improve your flying? Maybe they make you fly worse! Ever wondered why you crash into the ground in a fight?

Take the Rudder Pedal Aptitude Test:

1) While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2) Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

If your foot changes direction you have failed the test. If you can maintain the clockwise circles, you are Experten.

Keep trying till you pass!

:aok Merry Christmas everyone!

1) lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2) while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

instead of using your pedals ... you will likely crash :p

Oh come on, that's not even close to the worst one.
You need to motivate him to try harder, not let him rest on his laurels :D

Post by: Krusty on December 20, 2005, 12:11:45 PM: It's not related at all to using rudder pedals. Similar to drums you must be able to press your foot while moving your hand counter clockwise. Nowhere in the use of rudders do you need to move your foot in a clockwise circle. Nobody asked the vital question: Why?

Your motor control neurons have nothing to do with being able to use rudders, in this case. A silly post to be sure, but don't associate it with rudder pedal use.

But...if it were me...I'd laugh my keester off at the thought of making a few dozen people sit at their desk and wave their hands and feet in the air...for no real practical reason! Especially if I suckered a few into doing it at work! :lol Priceless!!

Ladies and Gentlemen...we may be in the presence of practical joke greatness! I'm going to guess that ole' MOSQ has done had his way with us!

:rofl

Krusty, you need to get a sense of humor!!! Your post was way too serious. If you didn't laugh at yourself while twirling your feet and hands, you need therapy.

:rofl

cav58d, if you think this is the worst post ever.......you need to go the same class with Krusty.

USHilDvl, you hit the nail on the head!
:aok :aok

BTW, I've never met anyone who could actually pass the test. It's possble with your right hand and left foot, or right foot and left hand, but I know no one who can do it right hand/right foot or left hand/left foot.

Post by: Glasses on December 20, 2005, 07:17:23 PM: Heh I'm a left handed guy flying right handed and using rudder pedals and I also play drums(I'm a disaster playing drums :D ) I do just fine in AH. (except flying all LW planes :D )

Post by: REP0MAN on December 20, 2005, 08:17:48 PM: priceless,

Luckily for me, I am a nighttime rep0man and I was at home in my drum studio at the time of this cruel joke so I was only redfaced in front of my cat. He didn't seem to care.

I do have to say (not that i am redeemed out of the "took the bait" club) but I put this test to a beat and had it mastered in 5 minutes. Had it been the left foot, I would have had it licked right away as i use a doublebass pedal and circles are very close the motion i use when playing it and the hats.

Great joke!

:aok
