badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Fuck you lmao. Fun fact about lift spoilers, contrary to what you might intuit based on their orientation to the wing, these flaps actually reduce the vertical lift of the aircraft. They do however alter the attitude of the nose of the craft by causing it to rotate upward.
Avionics is fun.
They do however alter the attitude of the nose of the craft by causing it to rotate upward.
Wait, what? I thought it would be the other way. Are they behind the center line of the wing? (Not sure if that's the correct terminology.) From the picture, I thought these were in front of it, since they're in front of the flaps.
So they reduce lift but also rotate the craft so that the nose rises. The flaps being raised doesn't cause the wings to generate lift, but the rotation induced via drag does cause it to rotate and thus the engines providing upward thrust. When you pull back on the stick in an aircraft the wing flaps go up. When you push forward they go down, this is how you orient the actual position of the aircraft. But when the flaps go up, they also reduce the velocity of the air going over the top of the wing creating higher pressure above than below which causes the loss of lift.
rotation induced via drag
That makes sense, the drag is on the top of the plane, so it rotates upward.
Peak badposting but
