Nice catch on the down vs up trim. Parentheticaly corrected it above to preserve reference continuity.

These aeroD threads are fascinating, spent several hours over here today...learned alot....how do you guy know all this stuff down to " percentage KIP value at a 45* shear to the angular variation of the tangental load...."[sm=stupid.gif]or something like that.
I have a feeling this board has a lot of true engineers about. Anyway thanks for the education and cerebral overload[sm=drowning.gif]

This stab isn't really that substantial even though it is built up and sheeted, doesn't take a load of pressure with thumb and forefinger on opposite sides@ LE and TE to reverse twist it up to and a bit past true.
Just in messing with a 120* kitchen sink water heated gel pack and a refrigerator cold pack alternately over a couple hours or so is showing very promising results...@ 80% done.

wrap it hot for @ 15 min and it seems to penetrate and get everything just a wee bit looser. hand hold it for 5 min w/heat still applied, remove the heat and hold it for 5 min, then 5 more held with with the cold wrap on. then let it sit unbraced for @20 min and it feels room temp on the surface anyway. have 4 reps on it now. Seems to move back to old memory twist less during each 20-30 min rest period, I'll look at it again in the AM, see if the recent progress has held.
