Results of flight tests to date appear to show conclusively that mass distribution is controlling characteristic; large lateral moments of inertia, such as exist with tanks in wings, or with wings of large span, make recovery difficult if center of gravity is too far to rear; with smaller lateral moments, center of gravity may be placed farther to rear before recovery becomes difficult.
