Jerry:
Back in the days of yore, when I was flying my Sukhoi in IMAC, I had 
trimmed in some rudder to work with throttle.  I mentioned it to Mike 
McConville at a cntest in PHX.  I'll never forget his statement:  "OOH, 
that's bad!"  Siince I hadn't flown the plane with this trim, I didn't 
re-think myself until after I'd flown it.  I said to myself:  "OOH, 
that's bad!"
