Know what you mean....Not everyone has that talent. Turning a wrench is a daunting task to some, maybe many.

One other thing to keep in mind....I can think of only two or three aerodynamicists in this game. Not many. What we discuss, sometimes passionately, regarding Pattern model trim is not a subject a degree in aerodynamics will solve. Sure, it helps to have engineering knowledge but even that is not mandatory. We all have learned by reading everyone else's scrible and trying things.

The only things that helps are common sense, understanding that, in spite of the fact that one can't see it, air produces a terrific amout of force as it spirals past the airframe, the guts to experiment and being truthful to yourself of the result.
