<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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</DIV>

<DIV>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. </DIV>
