Thanks for the advice. It's not easy without Pilot's Notes specifying some entry conditions. I was guessing 350 kts I was probably pulling back too hard, difficult to remember. Too slow, and the model falls off the top, of course. Back to the Hunter - it's much easier - but I designed it that way, and it flew that way too :-). _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
