radiators have no influence on speed

[ACE-OF-ACES]

First thing to note..

Tom does notice a difference
David does NOT notice a difference

So who should we belive?

Answer, neither!

Why?

For all the reasons I have already stated, and the fact that some are seeing a difference and some are not only reinforces the need to log your data during flight

Having the ball centered is one of those 'pilot errors' I was referring to.. Little things like this can add up

Keynote.. not really precise

Its the things your changing that you don't realize your changing that can make the difference, as noted in the Ki61 case, most sim pilots are not holding their altitude as well as they think they are.

Which goes back to that resolution thing I mentioned

Who is arguing?

And I am not agreeing with you or disagreeing with you. I am simply pointing out the FACT that the error your looking for may be in your nearest mirror

And I don't care that you don't care!

Oh, and I am still waiting on your 'data' as in how much are we talking about here?

10?
20?
30?
40?

If you don't know in advance how big of a difference you are suppose to see, than how will you know it when you see it!

And you should take pause here and consider the fact that Tom 'is' seeing a difference..

So with that said..

Are you calling Tom a liar?
