This reminds me of an old conundrum did you realise that every time a fly hits your Ercoupe in flight that it stops it?
The thinking goes like this. You are flying along and hit a fly. The fly was buzzing along at say 5 kts towards you. After impact it is flying in the other direction at your airspeed of say 85 kts. So it slowed up to stationary, then accelerated in the other direction. So at some stage it wasn¹t moving, so therefore neither was your Ercoupe. So the fly stopped your Coupe!
