yo "RACER" is English a second (or maybe third) language? If so, I can see how this train got derailed but WTF? READ what you just quoted and try to interpret it one more time (w/ the brain clicked ON this time)!

when someone says "let's roll" what do they mean? In the second quote I'm not referrring to "roll" as in pitch, roll, and yaw ........ just roll as in pure translation in the forward direction.

4.5 = 251
5.5 = 307
