Hey Ken.

Good to hear from ya. Are you flying 2 Sundays from now? I think I will be out at Hollister, unless I can get Jon here.. lol Gonna do some new sequence follies.. lol

Anyway, I ran the numbers for the Element, and it comes out to 7.25" I am nearly 2 " in front of that. But, there's no mix in knife edge. Although I am feeling like it is causing the to the canopy pull in ups and downs. 1 piece wings are horrible!! lol .... Would be easy to crank some positive into the wings to try to solve the pulls with 2 piece wings.

Cool program though, thanks for sharing.

Would be cool to have a moment arm calculator by just entering the "on the wheel" weights like this without having to enter a bunch of other junk..

Hope to see ya at the field!!
