Straightening the spiral airstream early on the fuse, and giving it a  chance 
to settle down further down the fuse, will aid many ailments we are  
experiencing with conventional designs. The dorsal and ventral strakes on the  Xpress 
help this considerably, and also add critical side area where  it is needed, 
helping rudder efficiency considerably. 
 
Nat was at least 20 years ahead of the times. But I don't really see  anyone 
jumping on that bandwagon yet so the same ol' same ol' will continue  until 
some prominent pilot wins with such a design. 
 
The design makes perfect sense in Pattern since we are unlimited as to what  
to design in. It is different only until everyone is flying one. Just like 
fixed  gear vs. retracts. Nat, you might want to patent the Xpress or at  least 
copyright the concept. LOL

Rumor has it that there will be another pilot flying an express this  season 
in Dist. 6.

Nat already has something very close to that flying (the  VooDoo Xpress) for 
20 years now. His method is one way to accomplish  that task--dorsal and 
ventral strakes at or near the AC plus a balanced fin  about the long center line.

When Chip was talking about throt/rudder  mix he was also talking about a 
problem with inverted exit from a vertical  downline. Could somebody please 
explain the problem ?
