109 elevator trim

I find that some of you, right or wrong, can be exceptionally aggressive about your views, at times. I think back to the thread on the Revi gunsight and the hysterical knee-jerking that went on there before, after dozens of pages, some finally calmed down enough to realise they have two eyes whose images the brain readily combines and that it may well be possible that the revi worked without looking directly through it with BOTH eyes. Before that point, however, these same people, who were ultimately wrong, let off such a tirade against a poster presenting careful analysis and evidence that you would think the guy was Hitler himself come to defend Nazism, no better expressed than by none other than the Revi gunsight.

I didn't participate, but I think that discussion, and many others, would have been much simpler if people were not so quick to pounce and judge the views of others. Certainly not before they have given their thoughts and their own thoughts good consideration and in the absence of any sign of malice by the other party.

While I see good reason to doubt whether moving a trim wheel some 2 full rotations was possible in under 5 seconds, and therefore that the time should be extended ingame, I don't think the case has been so thoroughly made out flanker that an expert should post here "to get the message through once and for all".

That's a bit condescending, it seems to me, of the people here who I think have simply taken two legitimate although not equally valid views on quite ambiguous (as yet) 'evidence'. We shouldn't hammer a point home before it has been made out.
