[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1235404, member: 9299"] Once, I spoke with a physics friend who was a guru in gyroscope construction and gyroscopic principles, and he favored the idea of decreasing gyroscopic wobble, my words not his, leading to increased stability while traveling in a fluid (air). The basic premise was the increased resistance of the fluid on a slightly wobbling streamlined object forced the object to find the path of least resistance thus decreasing the wobble and becoming more stabilized for a period of time. This did make sense, for a properly constructed aircraft tends to do the same thing. "Weather veining" is often a term used. Watching slow motion arrows being launched with all the flexing and wobbling then to see the same arrow just yards later makes for a similar argument. [/QUOTE]
