Tod , where does this "gin clear" bullshit come from? Where do you get
this crap? The vis has nothing to do with our config - ours is better
the worse the condiotions get. Tell me why this is not true? Tell me why
it is true if you think you understand it.

Double anythings with a manifold gets the redundency job done correctly.
Single anythings need the rigth wing, not a giant wing. Anything with a
giant wing is a mess. The rig is supposed to be balanced so that the
wing is not an ejection seat, but a trim tool. The wing is a "b" "C" as
in C O M P E N S A T O R for the difference between starting gas and no
gas.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO????????????????? Do the laws of physics not apply in
northern latitudes  or are we operating under some kind of bullshit
mindset that denies reality?
