Hi Varn,

I don't recall using the word "instability" in any of my descriptions on how the car handled the large side-winds.

The phenomena I recall was that the front end still pushed during the high winds and I had to correct for this with the steering wheel, by turning back into the wind. I also mentioned that the handling during this event was similar to what the car felt like without the tail.

So the addition of the tail did not really alter the handling in an adverse way, which is really good news.

Jim.
