Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

Assuming they're sphrerical and same diameter.

However, lift is produced by air movement over a curved surface. That's how a wing works: air moves quicker over the top than the bottom, and lowering the air pressure and pulling the airplane up.

Though recently they're disproving that theory, and I've got no idea what they're replacing it with. Vortexes or something.
Crosswind technique: "Using your peripheral vision, react to body movements, gasps, groans, and shouts from the other side of the cockpit, and always remember that it's better to be lucky than good."
