Bill,
That is the way I use it too.
But some of the changes that produce positive results theoretically, for
example changing wing airfoil from 4% to 2% camber & changing stab airfoil from 2%
to 4% camber, don't work for me.

From what others have told me, Bernie's program was pretty specific for 65cm
F1D. I still use it to compare the effects of changes to a design. I figure if
a change produces a positive result in the program it might be beneficial in
real life. When it tells me that my PP will do 25 minutes I don't necessarily
put much stock in that.
The program is a pretty good tool for predicting stability. A big negative
number for the static stability margin can mean the model will be difficult to
trim.
