Re: 75 Nova U/SA
Jeez that was so long ago I really don't remember. Surprisingly I really don't think it was that much, though one would think it would be a lot. I was told by an engineer (John Pratt of Behemoth fame) that the effect is the cube of the weight difference because you have to transport the weight from A to B as well as accelerate/rotate that additional weight. Sounds like a big difference, but we never tested that. Wasn't any incremental times back then, would assume it would have shown up there.
