Did you work a W&B?

Of course. With full fuel (564 lbs) and about 20 lbs in the rear (cockpit
cover, spare oil, spare bulbs, etc) we come almost exactly on the front
line of the graph. Thank goodness for CoPilot for doing quick what-ifs on
the W&B.

How much nose up trim did you use?

A fair amount.

that much, because it lends a certain attitude of disdain to what would
otherwise be a mere malfunction. -- Carl Jacobs
