	Hi,
   
          I used Marvel  in the fuel of British sports cars in the '70's.  Seemed to prevent  sticking valves, didn't seem to hurt.  I use their Air Tool oil as an  after-run oil on RC 2-strok ... |

	Rick,
   
          Please  don't put words in my mouth.  No one said 'categorically it has no  effect'.  To an engineer, perhaps.  To a pilot, it's a moot  point.  Fore-and-aft CG change is of primar ... |

           Technically correct.  If the aircraft is stalled, it can't fly.   That's not to say the bird can't fly with the ASI at '0', though.  Your  plane can't read the ASI, so it w ... |

         I believe the term you're searching for is biennial (every other

 to be sure).

         Don't forget the reduced effective wing area in a slip, along with 
 partial wing 'blanking' during the maneuver. Both work to hasten the

	Hi Cristal,
 
         Trivia is great.  Good on your flying! Just relax, the examiner 
 wants you to do well.  If you catch a mistake, repent and ask for a do-over. 
 Most will allow it - once.
