    The Darn Old Cocked Hat vs CG?
    From: Hanno Ix
    Date: 2013 Mar 19, 10:40 -0700
    Andres:

    My rough-and-ready approach predicts the TL 2/3 down the median
    as seen from the vertex (iow: at the CG) which it is - or at least rather close.
    In your diagram, it certainly is within the 99% ellipse.

    Could this be just a random coincidence? 
    Is there an counter example, one in which my choice of the TL would be far outside that ellipse?
    If it is not by coincidence then the probability of its being within the Doch must be bigh.

    Regards

    h

    An example for 4 LoPs: see the attached animation for the ellipse of conficence of 25% 50% 75% 95% and 99% prob.

    Error:
    S = 0.0011
    sigma = 1.3999
    sigmaB = 1.0029
    sigmaL = 1.0499

    Ellipse:
    Prob = 0.01 0.25 0.5 0.75 0.95
    k = 0.1418 0.7585 1.1774 1.6651 2.4477
    theta = 40.0289 40.0289 40.0289 40.0289 40.0289
    a = 0.1637 0.876 1.3598 1.9231 2.8269
    b = 0.1248 0.6675 1.036 1.4652 2.1539
