Your entirely right, I should have use center of gravity instead of roll
center, I sit corrected and thank you for so tactfully pointing that out.
When I post messages to the list I try to simplify things so that most of
the non technical folks can understand it. Sometimes I get bit - hope that
ends the confusion - Thanks again, and sorry for any misconceptions - I'll
try in the future to write the messages and then read them the next day,
before posting. Then maybe I will see such glaring errors I missed and can
correct them. (although someone on the list will gennerally do it for me :-))
