these on plane swings seem very upright compared to the shaft plane--aren't clubs designed to work from the shaft plane angle?? Does one need to adjust one's clubs to swing on the turned shoulder plane ??

The cambered sole with its rounded toe and heel permit the ready positioning of most Clubs between the Elbow and Shoulder Planes.
Draw a line down the right forearm on the picture on the right....notice it would intersect the ground at an angle that points forward of the ball....16-18 inches.....Picture on the right would have the RFANOAP at the Ball...bad looking picture..
Ok, thanks, that makes perfect sense. My question then is how you get someone to alter this forearm angle at impact. Is it based on the motion of the right elbow in the downswing?
Go to impact fix and Look...Look....Look..down the right forearm angle of appraoch to the ground...see how it appears forawar of the ball and cross line..this is the angle of approach for the right forearm...then look back to a mirror to your right and see how the right forarm is poining at the baseline this on-plane right forearm is the angle of attack of the right forearm.....

So if I were to see your student's right forearm down-line before it would be very steep and after more shallow? If so, were these the means to achieving a much better impact position?
It is the personification of The Golfing Machine and the Impact alignments of the Left Arm Flying Wedge (through Impact, also known as the #3 Accumulator with its Flat and Level Left Wrist) and its relationship with the On Plane Right Forearm Flying Wedge (with its Bent and Level Right Wrist).
It is the perfect illustration of Homer Kelley's words from his Fall 1981 Master Class:
"The #3 Accumulator [Angle] should be constant. If you have your Right Forearm On Plane -- behind the Clubshaft -- this Angle will be constant. There's nothing that will change it. You're coming in like this [Homer demonstrates per David's photo above] as though there were no left arm."
