[simpits-tech] Viperpit.org SSC project a success.

[Craig Rochester]

Hey Marv,

"...Physiologically, it may be that as you experience negative G loading that
one's physical strength may alter.

What do you think?  :-)"

I don't have a clue. :-)  Last time I speculated on this, I was 100% wrong. ;-)

Craig,

That is a good question and I don't know, but I agree with your logic.

Since I don't know, I'll succumb to Male Answer Syndrome.

I think our frame of reference is based on a 1 G environment in a static
seating position under normal physiological conditions.  It may well be that
under negative G loading that the torso rides up in the seat and the pilots
ability to push forward on the stick is likewise diminished.

Physiologically, it may be that as you experience negative G loading that
one's physical strength may alter.

What do you think?  :-)

Marv
