You made it VERY clear that they would lose traction the second they started to unfold...

..as your premise was that they would be "unweighted" at that moment...

...as you assumed that the only forces pushing the drooped tire down could be the leaf spring...and if that was not pushing on it any more...there would be ZERO downforce.

That was your premise.

You THEN said PROOF would be a video of the tire slipping the instant the shackle unfolded...as you postulated that from there down, there'd be no weight on it.

So - We actually SHOT a video of the shackle unfolding...and the tire DID NOT slip.

So - You said it would slip...it didn't.

It provided traction LONGER than the regular lift shackle did....

So the USEFUL DROOP was better than it was with a conventional shackle.

OK - It was better...not ZERO.

It would not matter if it was on dirt, or concrete...as it was the SAME FOR BOTH SHACKLES.

At what point will this all make sense to you?



I swear I know you are a bright guy....but, this is YOUR plane on the tread mill.



PS - You have to fully understand something to be able to explain it in your own words.

One more time - ALL the physics are needed to understand this...NOT just the one's you're using.

Its a live axle....when one side is stuffed, it applies leverage to the other side...

If I pick up one side of a see saw...the other side is pushed down by the same force, etc.

Trust me...its true.
