Hello Peter.
Allouette Flying Club Biggin Hill, many years ago, ??
Sorry you may well be right , but I am not convinced yet.
To move forward thrust must be greater than drag, and in level flight thrust 
must
equal drag, this is all from memory, and it was a long ago so some number may
not be correct, however can,t remember all ,but the total drag is made from
a many different types of drag, one being Foam drag or it may have another 
name!,
but this increases by the square of the speed, all I remember is,( double
the speed 4 times the drag), so think the total force is rearwards.
I do remember seeing a bombing raid, and a bomb falling from above went through
a Superfortress wing and took it clean off, and the only way that went was up.
So I still remain undecided. Does it say in the Europa manual the name of this
bar, I believe it was a mod. Sorry I am such a nuisance, but my old instructor
told me to be sure in your own mind, and that what I have done over the years.
   
Regards.
Alan
