It is often said that the UK and USA are divided by a common language. For my information when a US citizen talks about a 60* slope do they mean A, B, C, or D in the picture below? I am aware that there are only actually 2 different angles. |

In the absence of any other factors, I'd be inclined to regard "zero degrees of slope" to be horizontal.
If the zero reference line were vertical, then I'd use a term like lean or tilt for the angle. If nothing else, this topic shows just how careful you have to be when describing anything! Glynn Guest |

I agree but when you say steeper I would say shallower (the reverse). No wonder confusions arise particularly when helping beginners. The precise number of 60 degrees does mean that understanding is important particularly when we don't know what angle we started with. I just wondered if common usage was different across the Atlantic as it is with some other words. Anyway no damage was done as the original poster got the right idea so enough of that & back to the topic. |

That is pretty slick using 1/2 of a drone to make a twin power air boat. There isn't too many twin airboats out there and it certainly does away with that whole rudder thing ("use the tank mixer Luke"). The prop guards really look like they belong ...Now what this boat needs is a video!
BTW -Good thing that they explained that 60 degree thing-I was going to ask, Fahrenheit or Celsius |
