That is just terrible news regarding the storms and flooding! I hope
everyone has insurance and can recover. Where are you geographically?

WRT to the trim, the discussion was about full-down trim (as a debatable
contributory cause of that accident), not full-up.

Utter devastation this week; whole region went under water for a few days;
Lismore airfield 4m over its highest mound; all aircraft and hangars
destroyed; only one airfield in the area survived the highest floods on
record... very very sad sight driving around seeing peoples homes lining
the streets of mud... very sad... still no communications networks
functioning; had to drive an hour to access the world today...

So while all around was being ravaged by nature I was sitting in my
offgrid home, unaffected other than having a wild amazonian torrent ripping
my driveway to pieces and cleaning out the creek banks, i could do nothing
but sit in front of the console and play with the digital europa while
drinking ballantines and coffee; crunching numbers; trying different things
out around the airframe and sending it to fully developed stalls, approach
configurations, ground effect, and adding leading edge slats, playing with
the engine cowl and main gear fairings. Its been a very exciting and
focused week of flood driven isolation!!!

So far the digital model’s aerodynamic performance is aligned to real life
actuals; so very happy with the results...

To answer Bud’s question raised about seeing what may happen flying with
full up elevator trim applied, the numbers indicate this would be an
advantage on a short field approach while maintaining a high nose attitude
and enough power to remain behind the drag curve above and not below 60kt
