[s-cars] MAF location

[Aaron]

Well.....
I might have to chime in here.
Denser / moist low altitude air will exert more force per unit area than 
thin dry hi altitude air.
Any windsurfer will attest.
Hap are you not proving this by stating you have to travel faster 
through thinner air to achieve the same amount of lift?  Perhaps your 
IAS indicator takes into account density?
Just dont ask me about MAF's
