The overpowered curve showed no dip in tip path and does not qualify as a tailing to me.
Saying that rod-leg tention has no effect would be one, saying which effect it has is quite another. Saying that once the launch direction is set and pulling the tip to the side not having any impact worth talking about was exactly that. That = saying rod-leg tension to have nearly no effect.
I guess you just see this the way you want to see it. I told you several times, that this statement was made many times on SL. I most probably have repeated it myself more than once (and was wrong).
Bottom line: you can't link any thread about this, because there was none.
I couldn't disagree more.
Nick and I look from the front and can see some of the deviation very well. Is that perpendicular to the motion? No, its 90 degree of being perpendicular.
No matter from where you watch, you always will miss some information, that can be seen better from a different position. There is no one perfect position. I can't believe we debate this.
There are things I see in a drone shot, that I most likely miss watching from the perpendicular side view and the other way round.
If you are correct, all of Lasse's blue wall vids are worthless. The rod is never vertical and the camera never in a 90 degree angle to rod plane. I however like his vids and took valuable information of them. Of course most things in those vids can't be seen in their exact level. I don't care about this.
