As a relative novice, I'd guess that it allows a somewhat lighter motor
stick that when heavily torqued does not put in down thrust but opens the
launch circle a bit, with the left thrust then tightening up the circle
as it climbs out. Does seem like quite a bit of left thrust, though.
But as Fred Tellier said, it obviously works for Stan Chilton.
Bill, can, and will, you attach a copy of the plan to an email ?
