Sorry to cause you grief, Curtis.

The problem stemmed from how I was filling the 4-vectors.  I had a
placeholder for the recoil vector which was just a stationary neutron.
 I think this wiped out the information about the decay plane.  I am
now filling the recoil vector using the missing 4-momentum after
reconstructing 3 charged tracks.  I can show some more plots at a
later meeting.
