In Response To: rocker coefficient (mike allen)

: maybe call this the 'rocker coefficient' so it relates to a simplification of
: the lateral plane coef. (which itself is just a simplification of the
: shape).

in general when the Clp = .5 = C(rocker) and the shape is probably identical
and the Clp = C(rocker) when = 1 and the shape is probably identical also.

and they just range up between these 2 numbers a little diffently. but the meaning is very similar with closer to .5 being higher rocker and closer to 1 being low as nick stated before.

a possibility i don't mind.
