I have a question. If the V3i is supposed to auto GB on it's own, given time and assuming the Lock Trac isn't engaged, why is an intricate GB so absolutely necessary? I read on another board way back when I got my V3i, that the V3i will self balance on it's own with time. Now do NOT think I am ignoring ground with big changes over it's sq footage. This question is precisely meant for the initial GB when you hit the field. If the V3i can handle a GB given a little swing time, on it's own, then why is it stressed that a perfect GB is done at the first? Won't a 80% GB fix itself to 100% in several minutes of time? What's the real deal? Yea, I get as good a GB as I can, but I also figure that the V3i can also manage the recovery to a good GB on it's own. martin
