I had to re-read this a few times and search a few (dozens) articles on Wikipedia (mea culpa!!!), but it was worthwhile. I like written lectures and I do that myself when I know something about the subject. So, when in doubt, babble! :-D Know that you always have at least one grateful reader here. Thank you!

PS One thing I still can't understand. How do you manipulate controls to relieve load on the wing root? I realize that various wing designs give a different wing and wing root loads, but how can control of the already made wing impact it's load factor?
