Gary,

 

If you are uncomfortable with the nose high attitude, lower the nose and
climb out at a higher airspeed.  You'll get better cooling and, since you're
at a more efficient part of the Coupe wing's curve, you may climb nearly as
fast.  But, it'll be a lower angle of climb.  Save the best angle climb for
deliberate practice sessions and times when you need it.

 

If your wings are significantly unlevel on climb out, you may want to check
all your rigging for correctness.  It's spelled out in one of the standard
Coupe books everyone should have.  See  <http://skyportservices.net/>

Admittedly, most of my Coupe flying was in a Coupe with pedals.  Therefore,
my climb out was wings level.  The two-control Coupe may be different and I
don't have enough two-control hours to quantify the climb out difference.
Let's get comments from others.

 

Also, it's good to respond to the forum, not just to me.  We have a bunch of
people who know more about any specific subject than I do.  (Me, I'm a
generalist.)
