Shoe,

As was stated, 2+2=4; Einstein would be proud of you. Very clear and concise. Adam_One and I finally found a common point. GA aircraft might benefit from this sort of scheme were it not...

Hey Dick,

Riddle me this: I was always taught that you trim for zero pressure on the control column regardless of flight attitude (AoA). If not, constant pressure is required on the flight...
