    Hello All,
    I was reading about forces and pitchpoling at http://www.geocities.com/kustzeilen/heeling_pitchpole.html
    by Wouter Hijink,
    In it the lift drag ratio used is 1,75. Walter continues to say this might be a bit high... (his words)
    I'm wondering if anyone has som idea of what an apropriate figure would be.
    More specifically for something like a F18HT compared to a F18. Or a M20 compared to a Tornado?
    Any input appriciated

    I call your bluff. The naked mast drag. A myth?
