Please if you don't have any first hand knowledge, and you don't know what you're talking about, refrain from posting.

I suspect the reason he is being technically accurate has to do with the fact that he is a pilot and they tend to keep their terminology specific, so that they know what is going on in times of emergency. I think he has even flown real Tiger Moths so he's got more first hand knowledge than anyone of us around here

Yes I have 270 hours on real Tiger Moths, horizons move in 2 relative axis pitch and roll, the pitch angle indicator would be more of an inclinometer and to be honest about as usefull as chocolate underpants which is probably why the instruments aren't used any more.

Von Bruhl.......you might consider not shooting your own mouth off taking things into consideration, you had no reason to be so rude with your response, I do expect an apology.

p.s. the clue is in my sig....thats me sat in a tiger moth
