Re: How do flies do it?

Not sure about the manuver, but I do know that when Lindbergh was flying across the Atlantic, he had a fly as a passenger. Since he had a lot of time to think, he began contemplating whether the fly was payload, or whether it was not adding to his gross weight...which had been finely calculated prior to the flight. Eventually he came to the conclusion that when the fly was flying, it wasn't adding to his payload, but when it landed it did.

Makes sense to me.
