Fulcrum? -- Which Fulcrum?

Shadow,

Quite correct -- rubbing out the runway (aka. taking off) changes the fulcrum of pitch moments from the maingear to the CG and can reverse the direction of moments from spoilers and reverse.

This thread has caught a number of us discussing pitch moments wrt the wrong fulcrum.
