Petrovite to me is emphasis on:

FREE TAKE OFF (and all components involved)

CONTINUOUS CHAIN OF ENERGY INTO POLE THROUGH FLY AWAY (and all components involved)


Unless you understand all the components involved, and the ideal way to perform these components, you drift farther from the thinkings of petrovites.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph
