  7. 11. A C of G which is too far left or right of the centerline of the aircraft will create an instability in the _______ axis
  8. 13. Loading the aircraft so the C of G is aft of the center of pressure will create an instability on which axis?
  9. 14. Flight control that affects the vertical or yaw axis
  10. 17. If an aircraft design has positive static stability (stable) and its tendency is to oscillate, with the oscillations increasing in magnitude until the aircraft loses control it has ________ dynamic stability
