Carl, Duke,
A 2" pin placed above the bridge area is going to PROBABLY place the CG above the midline and thus require a weight hole above the midline and probably above the PAP. If it does, I believe that will reduce the flare, depending on the size of the hole. If he/you (Duke) can get away without a weight hole, I think you'll have a better safer reaction. Just a thought ...
