Default electronic weight jack

How true Diablo. We keep joking that we need to just set up the camera on the tripod and let it run whenever we fly. I hear you can win 10,000 on Americas Funniest Home Videos for footage like that. Should almost cover the cost of a 50% plane smacking, right?

Actually, we were talking about this at work(have to do something productive there, right?). It would not be for competitive purposes, unless you call having the flight with the highest P-factor(pucker, that is). As for the Murphy's Law comment made earlier, we were talking about a not so radical CG change, could still be landable even with a servo failure (albeit with some extra speed and some down elevator)
