Fred,

Good result, nice report, great warning......

I once demonstrated negative G's to my son and while pointing to the ignition key ring quickly ascending, the tow bar stowed behind the ignorant pilot's seat arose and smote the back of my pumpkin head. Duh!

Thanks for the info even if I still rely on spring driven trim.............
