I look forward to the iPad version. You will be able to use the built

And, as Stephen Colbert demonstrated, you can also
use the iPad to chop vegetables to make Salsa...

What ever happened to the good old days, when
racers just added lead in the tail til it was really
scary, then removed a bit ? Or so I've been told...

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

My Std Cirrus has a little circular cover on the fin that gives access
to a neatly installed little mounting point for lead disks. Apparently
the first owner had a habit of adjusting the scariness frequently.

Apparently -with the CG right at the back it gets interesting. I am so
heavy it is difficult, but my erstwhile partner found it quite
unpleasant - 20kg lighter than me.
