The cliff note premise of the d planers is that if you hit down you have to "swing left".... so the opposite to a degree would be true if you swung (or kicked) up. This video actually would support the d-plane perfectly. "Swing left " can't be universal though, angle of attack also creates path. No intention of arguing or debating, just a note that this is very in-line with what "d-planers" would say.

Absolutely! I never had a quarrel with D-Plane, just with the people who used it to prove Homer wrong. He wasn't, and they didn't. I just wish I had started with the yellow book 40 years ago as I had it all wrong.
