I like the advise I see here. <<PPS - I do get my back up when misquoted. A couple of times in this thread folks have suggested I said that paddles shouldn't flutter. In fact I have repeated that all paddles flutter, but some are better than others. I apologize if I have offended anyone with the apparent sharpness of my responses. >> I'd suspect everyone gets a bit head-up when pulled the wrong way. Technical discussions like this seem to generate the most hear just because those of you with "professional" experience seem to have the most invested in the exact words you post and the specific meaning you have for them. Me, I haven't any idea what lift or whatever forces you are talking about mean. I just know I need to reach a tad more and it stops annoying. Thanks to all who attempt to enlighten folks like me.
