Bert,

That's an odd comment. When someone like Stan Hall writes about
stability, control, and structures, I listen. Carefully.

I think the bottom line in his analysis is very clear. Open Class
performance comes with risks that need to be completely understood AND
there are flight regimes where the margin between recovery and disaster
is very, very thin.
