*scratching my head*

Can you explain this one to me? Seems to me that if you have all your mass near the centerline of the A/C, it would be more responsive to a roll input than if you had a bunch of mass way out at the wingtips. Picture a turntable with 2 bricks on it, sitting across from one another at the edges. It's gonna take a while for it to get up to speed. Now take those same two bricks and stack them on top of each other in the middle of the turntable. It will accelerate to speed much quicker. Or am I applying the wrong theory to this situation?

Disregard everything I said after BTW ! You are correct. I"ll go back to doing yard ape stuff .
