+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That's true on any aircraft. I once flew the Tripacer on a clear , smooth night for 25 minutes without touching the control yoke. After trimmed in cruise, I could lean forward or back in the seat if the altimeter drifted a bit. A very slight power reduction gave me the decent rate I wanted when arriving at the home airport. I tried to rudder the turn onto downwind and that's when the nose dropped enough that I had to take the wheel. All airplanes play by the same laws of physics. Larry Flesner
