Wow I just want to smack myself for not thinking that, and I will shoot an e-mail off to my flight dynamics professor if we don't come up with anything for this. I am about tapped out, this is the limit of my knowledge in this area and as you can see I'm still working out the kinks on this level. I wouldn't even know where to start looking for how that graph was created, my dole book might have it I will see tomorrow.
