Stemme has a different issue: it can get "rocking" (in roll) and hit a tip. I know this has happened more than once (on grass fields) - damage results. Always trade-offs! See ya, Dave I walked interestedly around the first Stemme I saw some years ago with an aeronautical engineer friend. As we chatted about it he ran one hand under the trailing edge of the wing tip and suggested I do the same. The aileron bottom was heavily abraded for the outboard 4 feet or so. Same on the other side. 'Every aeroplane touches the edge of the envelope somewhere' he said. -- GC
