Are you sure you want to be answering this putz? I beg of you; reconsider.


He sounds like a precocious 12-year-old, so I can cut him some slack. He
DOES ask some pertinent questions, like this one.

An ATP friend of mine almost had W&B taught him the HARD way a couple of
years ago. We calculated his CG to be about 6 inches aft of allowable,
after he had a near incident.

I showed him how to set up a general program and opened his eyes. He
became a very strong advocate after that.
