In principle you are right, Graham.
I am sure that you will agree with me, however, that a pilot not being able
to detect
even some small deficiency in flight-behaviour of his mount is not ready to
go solo
in the first place, even in a Cessna, let alone a home-built - which proves
your point,
by the way.
All the best,
Niels
