Bing Vacuum physics

I just figured there must be helium in the wings....

Does an airplane fly due to the vacuum on top of the wing sucking the plane into the sky, or the pressure from underneath it blowing it into the sky?

Planes blow up, I've seen it in the movies.

Have you changed the diaphragms? Bing SAYS they ought to be changed every 2 years...I don't do THAT but did find that although they might LOOK good they aren't. This is usually noticed when you try to pass and suddenly there is an oncoming vehicle.
New diaphragms fixed THAT problem. General sluggishness at speed was cured by a pair of new coils.

Hey Rob, have we got a popcorn smiley?
If we did, I think someone's eaten it.

READ IT AGAIN

I object to the representation, as I said nothing wrong. I then politely tried to deal with the OP's apparently misunderstanding of what I said. A poster who told me off for telling him what he already knows all about, in spite of the fact that his question clearly assumed the opposite.

I have, in fact, put my foot in my mouth from time to time. This is not one of those times.

I am a total fan of your writing style and keeping in mind that if one never falls off a cliff, they are not taking enough chances, I feel compelled to say you did in fact cross the line. Not an important line, but on first reading, my reaction was the same as Tom's and I am a long time reader.

"...On first reading..."

I'm afraid I do do not understand. If I crossed a line, it does not matter how many readings. If a more careful reading led to a different conclusion, it does not signify I crossed any line. Please explain.

If it reads better for you, this was my intent:
