I guess that, more than anything, I was trying to figure out how Rand and Robinson arrived at their published CG range and the little exercise with the CAA rule of thumb seemed to point in the direction of an "aerial extraction". However, I could be wrong... they may have done some engineering and arrived at that range analytically, then verified it by test flying. I don't even have a KR... all I have is a manual and supplement, so I'm just throwing ideas around. Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: [email protected] website at http://www.flysquirrel.net
