No, he is right. Really. This has been argued over before. I can *assure* you that both FDMs do the mechanics correctly. The whole idea of "rotates around the C.G." is an approximation anyway. The C.G. moves at runtime, and translational accelerations and rotation couple; they simply can't be modelled independently.
