We ought to mention where our structural frame origin is per aircraft model. Also, the problem with the aircraft flipping is probably due to landing gear specification. It has nothing to do with the visual reference point, of course. I thought I had checked this model out once in JSBSim by itself, and it seemed fine. Maybe I am recalling wrong. I'll try to take another look. Where did this one come from - Dave Culp's Hangar?
