"Positive roll is right wing down, positive pitch is nose up, and positive yaw is east when heading north."


Positive roll is right wing down = clockwise seen from tail.
Positive pitch is nose up = clockwise seen from port wing.
Positive yaw is east when heading north = clockwise seen from above.

This is sci.physics.relativity not sci.flyingwithyoureyesshut .....

Roll is not required in my method. I 'rotate the telescope'.
My pitch is the same as yours but my YAW is measured looking upwards rather
than down.

Mathematical angle is positive counterclockwise so you'll never
be sure you are talking about the same thing.

This has all been explained to Wilson before, his standard response
is "No", which he learns from Bielawski, Draper, Dishman and Poe,
rendering him ineducable.

Bielawski understands Poles are the butt of American jokes but
does not know how far it is from A to A.
