Boy, the dead horses keep piling up on this one. For the record, the moment of inertia (I) *does* have mass units. The complete units of I are: distance x distance x mass, and it's really a tensor in the most general form. So, angular momentum (I*omega*omega) is a correct term with the same

Hey Scott, If your an intermediate to advanced slope pilot then the BirdWorks Zipper is (imho) probably the best sloper available for under 300 dollars :-) Only $57.60 usd for the 48 sub-kit or ten bux more for the 60 inch span. This plane has a wide speed range and is very fast.
