I have seen the Zero gravity Chaplin by Knifezoid. Not a zero gravity twirl. Do you have a link?

I am talking about twirling in 0 gravity Smiler
but I will have to check out that trick your talking about.

G-Force One, AKA the Vomit Comet.

The environment would be so different that I imagine an experienced flipper would probably cut himself to pieces. Entertaining, to say the least. Big Grin

that was what I was thinking Doc...the trim characteristics would be all
shot. twirling would be fine but as soon as you tried a release maneuver....
FOUR....!!!! even with a trainer...the weight would do some mean damage.

CDR it was more a fishing expedition for someone that had ridden "the vomit comet" for no other reason than what where some of the coolest experiments
they had seen in zero gravity.

if no one twirled in zero g..then this becomes a conversation about as
as useful as discussing the singularity at the center of a black hole.

I think the whole inertia thing would be weird without the effects of gravity. Your timing would go totally out the proverbial window.

And you're right about discussing the singularity - I'm much more interested in the event horizon. Big Grin
