Gary,

 

Dave Winters had a thought that might apply.  (His e-mail system only posts
blank messages to the forum so I'm posting it for him.)

 

Some of what you've described would be consistent with being at an airspeed
lower than you think you're at.  You might want to calibrate your airspeed
indicator.  I'd suggest running a calibration test at about 100 mph
indicated and again at 60 or 70 (up at altitude, of course).

 

The procedure is here:

Ed,

It sounds like his airspeed is too low.  His plane is acting like it is in
slowflight.  His ASI may be in error?
